“Transformations: Black Power Salute in Confederate Drag”
Ramekon O’Arwisters “SuperART Hero” clad in shaman’s ceremonial tunic is photographed in different locations in San Francisco giving the black power salute to statues, buildings, and the ocean. “Transformations” is inspired by Anselm Kiefer’s 1969 photography series “Occupations.”
