Some of my favorite works by him are the series In case of race riots/ In the Event of race riots. It’s a reminder that we must never remain complacent and continually fight for justice and equality on all fronts In Case of Race Riot Series Theaster Gates Part of a series that features lengths of decommissioned fire hoses, In Case of Race Riot II alludes to the Civil Rights Movement and, in particular, the use of high-pressure water hoses against peaceful African American demonstrators in Birmingham, Alabama, in May 1963. However, the wording of the title raises the possibility of future use of the fire hose, questioning any complacent acceptance of the success of this tumultuous era of American history and pointing to the ongoing struggles for African Americans’ civil rights via @brooklynmuseum」6月11日 23時54分
