Abel Lockhart: Protest 3 (2023)

photograph taken by my amazing friend, Abel Lockhart. was featured in my Art in Solidarity exhibition near the end of April.

Captured in 2023, Abel Lockhart (he/him) is exploring contrasting realities between protestors and bystanders. There is the reality of oppression that comes with being in opposition to a higher authority. As a photographer, however, it does not bring a new perspective for him - rather, regurgitated ideas. Ultimately, for him, it isn’t the art that’s a display of critical thought, but what the viewer can derive from it.
