About Juneteenth
Juneteenth, observed on June 19th, commemorates the abolition of slavery in Texas and the broader emancipation of enslaved Africans in the United States. On this day in 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War had ended and that enslaved people were free—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. In 2021, Juneteenth was recognized as a U.S. Federal Holiday, thanks in part to the efforts of Texas resident and organizer Opal Lee.
About Nina Chanel Abney
Nina Chanel Abney is a contemporary artist whose work captures the frenetic pace of modern culture. Her paintings tackle subjects such as race, celebrity, religion, politics, sex, and art history, often eschewing linear storytelling in favor of disjointed narratives. Abney's bold style draws from the color theories of Matisse, the legacy of cubists like Picasso and Léger, and the synesthetic sensibilities of Harlem Renaissance artists such as Douglas and Lawrence. Her work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Brooklyn Museum.
