Homecoming

Through her immersive drawing installations and painstaking attention to detail, Lava Thomas creates opportunities to celebrate the beauty of African American life. Lava Thomas: Homecoming brings three bodies of her work together for the first time, Looking Back (2015-2021), Mugshot Portraits: Women of the Montgomery Bus Boycott (2018¬-), and Decatur (2022). These works demonstrate Thomas's dedication to exploring personal and cultural narratives of survival and bravery against the odds.
