A general rule of any code of ethics is that if something feels funny or unethical, then it probably is. Add a corollary -- if an action, whether ethical or not, gives the appearance of being unethical, then it is -- and you have a problem with the NMAA and its legacy from the late artist Gene Davis.

Artist Panel: Home-Land: Exploring the American Myth
Curators Michael Quituisaca and Alexandra Schuman, together with the artists of the exhibition "Home-Land Exploring the American Myth" at the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center will present an artists' discussion and talk panel this coming Sunday!
Date and time: Sun, July 17, 2022 at 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT
Location:
American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center
4400 Massachusetts Avenue Northwest
Washington, DC 20016
Taking advantage of the museum’s proximity to the Department of Homeland Security’s Nebraska Avenue Complex, this exhibition explores the impact that American culture has on its citizens both naturalized and native. Using American iconography, consumer and visual culture, and personal experience, the featured eight Washington area artists simultaneously honor and confront the American dream. The idea of “home” is a promise in America that often goes unquestioned. However, these artists reveal that home is not a privilege for all - for some it is taken, for others it is to be fought for and defended, and, for many artists in the show, it is reforged in a new land. This exhibition, "Home-Land: Exploring the American Myth" highlights how these artists have found their place within multiple frameworks of identity, both ascribed and subscribed.
Artists showing: Sobia Ahmad, F. Lennox Campello, Elizabeth Casqueiro, Ric Garcia, Claudia "Aziza" Gibson-Hunter, Julia Kwon, Khánh H. Lê, and Helen Zughaib
This event will be held in-person at the museum.

Anniversary of the July 11 uprising
Last year, and for the first time (at least in my memory) there were widespread protests in Cuba - the shouts were for "Libertad" which means "freedom." Thousands of people were arrested, many were murdered and many disappeared.
There are planned protests on the first anniversary, and the Marxist dictators are sure to react with a bloody reprisal again - let's pray for these brave men, women and children on the streets of that poor brutalized island!
| "Isla Herida" 1980 F. Lennox Campello Original Watercolor In a private collection in Coral Gables, FL And here again is the flag for the uprising that I designed last year! A take-off on the 26th of July flag - this one has the colors of the Cuban flag (Red, White and Blue). The red stripe is slightly larger than the blue, in honor of the blood being spilled on the streets of Cuba. The "11J" in white is for 11 July!

The day I found myself in a metaverse of Frida Kahlos
More early odd works from current scanning of old art slides... this is "The day I found myself in a metaverse of Frida Kahlos" from 1980, when I was in art school at the University of Washington in Seattle.
