At the Mercy of the Medium: Collage Workshop with Richard Allen May III
Richard Allen May III explores the intersection of male comic book superheroes, the social construction of masculinity, and systemic racism though collage and assemblage works that layer both materials and meaning. A close examination reveals the implications of these layers in American society – suppression, displacement, violence, and the fight for social justice.
