The Lewis Latimer House Museum is proud to present “Blood is Thicker than the Water that Separated U.S.,” a solo exhibition of the artist Dario Mohr’s LED light inspired works.

About

Inspired by the sense of family migration, black excellence, and Lewis Latimer's contributions to science through light, "Blood is Thicker than the Water that Separated U.S." is artist Dario Mohr’s solo exhibition that features a series of dark room, projection and LED light inspired works.

Situated in the history of forced migration and collective loss of recollection in ancestral lineage, Mohr’s artwork draws on his own challenges to connect with his West African heritage and identity as a first-generation Grenadian American. Through his work, Mohr seeks to address the gap that exists of those who were historically held captive and other U.S citizens, while representing the plight of many African Americans and Caribbean American people who have assimilated to European culture out of survival.

Join us for the exhibition opening of “Blood is Thicker than the Water that Separated U.S.”, which will be on view during open hours April 1 - July 3. Refreshments will be provided.
