“Affirmation” is a solo exhibition of the work of visual artist Sophia Dawson that explores through paintings and drawings the story of Assata Shakur. After reading Assata’s autobiography and learning of her life as a former Black Panther Party political prisoner in the United States, Dawson was inspired to create portraits of Assata, and other comrades who remain behind bars today for their political actions and beliefs.
