Question the dress code for America.

Tracy Keza explores the stereotyping of African Americans and Muslims, looking specifically at how clothing can be perceived as a threat.

In Hijabs & Hoodies, we encounter faces and fabrics that draw a range of reactions—depending on who views them. Tracy designed the work as an active gallery, and at CrossLines she invited black and Muslim visitors to participate in a photoshoot to expand the series.

Finding commonality through shared trauma.

This is a collaborative series of works by Roger Shimomura—an internationally-acclaimed painter who has shown in three Smithsonian museums—

and SUPERWAXX, one of Washington, D.C.’s most beloved emerging artists.

The works exemplify how both artists shape pop imagery to recall historical and social moments. They look at incarceration, hate crimes and vilification that resulted from anti-Japanese sentiment during World War II and Islamophobia amidst the War on Terror—showing how collective trauma transcends race, religion, gender and even generations.
