Dorian Reid Black Cat Revolution

Dorian Reid will create an installation of ceramic sculptures, printed ephemera, protest signs, flags, and a performance. Reid's work draws parallels between her familial connection to The Black Panthers and her current fight for civil rights and animal welfare. This collection of objects will tell the story of the "Black Cat Revolution," a movement and club Reid founded in 2024 to dismantle prejudices and raise funds for cats and community members. She explains, "I'm creating my own Black History with cats. The club is for all who love cats, freedom, justice, liberation, and stand against superstition." The gallery will set the stage for community building: Reid plans to lead attendees in a march around the space, guiding them in remixed protest chants, songs, and calls to action.
