Kameelah Janan Rasheed & Yuken Teruya: Backseat Driver
February 15 2020 – September 2020
Piero Atchugarry Gallery presents Backseat Driver, a dual exhibition joining works by Kameelah Janan Rasheed and Yuken Teruya. The exhibition unites two artists employing their personal narratives and US history as a basis for analysis and reflection on systemic issues in Western culture. While Teruya addresses the status quo in Western culture through a coded visual language composed of commercial icons, Rasheed embeds her work with overt phrases and archival records that, when presented together, create an image of the history of conflict in the United States.
