Commissioner, in partnership with New World School of the Arts, presents a memorial exhibition, A Reflection of the Times by Miami-based artist, activist and educator, Chire “VantaBlack” Regans.

This commissioned exhibition of portraiture by Chire Regans underscores the ways in which activist art exists as a site of resistance and embodies a social justice framework. A Reflection of the Times will create a space for collective remembering and healing for families and the community, as we approach the one year anniversary of George Floyd’s death on May 25, 2021. To honor his legacy and the countless number of people who are killed in the U.S. by gun-related and state violence, the exhibit will commemorate the lives of one hundred victims, reminding us of the critical role of community-led activism and the urgency of magnifying its message.

This event is for all Patron, Collector and Alumni members. RSVP is a must at bit.ly/chireregans.
