"Cedric Harper’s work creates an immersive environment where artworks dangle from the ceiling, perch on low tables by the ground, and adorn the walls. The works aren’t physically large, but their presence demands attention. There’s no such thing as a casual walk around this gallery space. Visitors are pulled in by the magnetic force of each piece." — Celina Colby for the Bay State Banner.

On view through 4/15

‘ANCESTRAL LANGUAGE’ at the BCA probes language, environment - The Bay State Banner

At first glance, the works in “Cedric Harper: ANCESTRAL LANGUAGE,” running at the Boston Center for the Arts through April 15, look minimalistic. But on closer inspection, these intricate pieces reveal layers of texture, paint and symbolism.

We are deeply saddened to learn of Mel King's passing.

A civil rights icon, he changed for the better our hometown of Boston, our home neighborhood of the South End, as well as so much more in the wider world.

His vision, grace, conviction, and stalwart determination remain an inspiration to so many of us. And his achievements are so profound that what he opened the doors to are now take for granted. Rest in power Mel King.
