Jammie Holmes: Make the Revolution Irresistible

Discover the debut museum solo exhibition of Jammie Holmes (b. 1984), curated by María Elena Ortiz.

Rooted in Black communities' experiences, Holmes is part of a lineage exploring human figures in today's social and political context.

Featuring about 15 artworks, the exhibit unveils Holmes's signature approach across his career. BOX FAN HEROES, 2019, a nod to his Thibodaux roots, and Blame the Man, 2021, embody spiritual bonds for resistance. Lefty, 2023, pays homage to veterans and civil rights. These artworks encapsulate Holmes's community, connecting us to vital human themes.
