MR. WASH AND IKECHUKWU ONYEWUENYI IN CONVERSATION

Prison has a lot of politics. Art was a neutral zone and a way to express the human emotions that both I and the other inmates were feeling… I’d love to meet other artists and find out what’s going on out here. I’m learning a lot about art politics on a day-to-day basis. — Fulton Leroy Washington

This week, join Washington (aka MR. WASH) in conversation with Made in L.A. 2020 assistant curator of performance Ikechukwu Onyewuenyi.

See link below to r.s.v.p. to the online event.
