The “Strong Silent Type” exhibit is now on display in NCC’s Schoenherr Gallery. This display features artwork created by Evanston-based artist and designer Ben Blount. He sheds a light on the history of racism in the United States. As described in Blount’s artist statement, “His work often explores questions of race and identity and the stories we tell ourselves about living in America.”
This gallery exhibits letterpress designs and art that focuses on words, phrases, and years that are associated with the history of racism in the United States.
“Strong Silent Type” from Blount is open from November 15, 2021, to March 4, 2022, in Wentz Fine Arts Center.
