Chire Regans’ A Reflection of the Times underscores the ways in which activist art exists as a site of resistance and embodies a social justice framework. Opening around the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death on May 25, Chire’s work honors his legacy and the countless number of people who are killed in the U.S. by gun-related and state violence.

Above are the names of one hundred victims memorialized in the exhibition. Conceived as a space for collective remembering and healing for families and the community, it reminds us of the critical role of community-led activism and the urgency of magnifying its message.

A Reflection of the Times is dedicated to everyone who encouraged me to use my voice,” said artist Chire Regans. “I hope this work leads you to yours.”

Use your voice: take action against violence.
