In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, mixed-media artist Robin Holder addresses the struggle essential workers face carrying the weight of society while scrambling for survival in recent works. The sentimentality and admiration of these pieces stand in contrast to a series of reminiscences from childhood, where the artist visually describes her journey of gradually acquiring social awareness. The final section addresses international children’s labor. Holder’s work centers on the complexities and conflicts of cultural and racial identity. She has completed public art pieces commissioned by New Jersey Transit, the New York School Authority and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. She created 34 glass windows for the New York City subway system. She is the 2020 Clark Hulings Fund for Visual Artists Executive Fellow and received a Brooklyn Arts Council Individual Artist Grant and a Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation Artist as Catalyst Grant. Her works are in the collections of the Library of Congress, Yale University and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

Following the harrowing murder of George Floyd last May, outraged citizens nationwide gathered in their communities to protest systemic racism and police brutality in the United States. While protests in major cities garnered the bulk of media attention, it was sustained actions in smaller communities like San Luis Obispo that made up the bulk of what is now recognized as the largest civil rights movement in history, Black Lives Matter. The photography created around these protests, both in San Luis Obispo and nationally, has played an important role, serving as both a record of the moment and a vision for the future. Activist Richard Fusillo served as one of the local movement’s foremost photographers and eye witnesses to what grew into an unprecedented series of direct actions in San Luis Obispo. Amongst the activist community here, a multiracial group largely being led by young Black activists, Fusillo’s images that capture both the energy of moments ignited by violence and injustice and uplift the power of joy and celebration have been embraced as a way to record the movement. His photographs frame crucial moments of both tension and joy and serve as a testimony to what activism in small towns can look like when people take collective action. The relationship between photographers and activists is a sensitive one; and the Black Lives Matter movement has re-invigorated and re-interrogated the conversation about photographer and subject. Fusillo’s work relies on his ongoing relationships with community leaders and his sustained presence at protests, rallies, and gatherings. Available as part of this exhibition is audio recorded by leading Black Lives Matter activists from San Luis Obispo discussing their experiences with this historical moment and their visions for its future. We All Bleed is hosted in collaboration with R.A.C.E Matters SLO.
