Artist
Ronald Hall
Ronald Hall seamlessly blends fiction and nonfiction in his narrative paintings, crafting otherworldly spaces where figures contemplate and navigate the complexities of the past, present, and future. Hall transforms domestic interiors, plantation architecture, and symbolic landscapes into dreamlike spaces where the past, present, and future collide. His narrative paintings often center the Black figure as both subject and witness, navigating complex legacies of race, identity, and social construction.
Ronald Hall has exhibited work at Bronx Museum of The Arts, New York; Duane Thomas Gallery, New York; and The Susquehanna Art Museum, Pennsylvania, among others.

Eva Richardson McCrea
Working across video, sculpture and photography Eva Richardson McCrea’s practice takes specific sites as points of departure into exploring the politics of the built environment and its role in the production of contemporary subjectivities and social relations. Layering both real and fictional elements, and borrowing conventions from television, documentary, cinema, and theatre, her work draws on a range of source material from philosophy and current affairs to the language of advertising and aspirational living.
