Allegra Jones Summer Residency at Five Car Garage “Research on the Racial Mirror” Allegra Jones summer residency studio and installation : “Research on The Racial Mirror” is open by appointment for visitors at Five Car Garage from Monday August 31st - September 9th. Jones has used the space as her studio over the summer, to make this new body of work, giving life to her studies on the afterlife of slavery. Jones has been investigating structures that congeal and perpetuate anti-blackness while exploring orientations toward racial healing and liberation. Allegra Jones is a visual artist, painter, musician, alchemist, performer, Black Lives Matter member, and educator with a degree in experimental animation from CalArts. Jones is half white and half black, and utilized this residency to examine the dimensions of her biracial identity as well. This body of work is continuing to expand as Jones will be contributing animation and music to the installation through September 9th. Five Car Garage hopes you will visit this unique residency and developing body of work, to continue the necessary conversation in regards to the Black Lives Matter movement in this country and beyond.
