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.
