An in-exhibition reading of Blood in My Eye by artist Zora J Murff

George Jackson, Black Panther and founding member of the Black Guerrilla Family, finished writing Blood In My Eye only days before his death in the San Quentin Prison. Published after his death, the text quickly became a key reference for the political theorists within the Black Liberation Movement. The text informs Murff’s visual artworks that examine how systems of domination interlock and how their injurious effects are normalized and made invisible in everyday life.

Zora J Murff’s in-exhibition reading of Blood In My Eye ends at 2:30pm and is followed at 3pm by a conversation between Murff and curator Terence Washington in the Research & Development Store. The two will discuss the text in relation to Murff’s exhibition, RACE/HUSTLE, and its effect on generations since its publication.
