/ The painting Alien by Mawhyah Milton is one of many pieces included in Curating the End of the World: Red Spring. The online exhibit was created by Harris Stowe State University professor Reynaldo Anderson.
At the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic last spring, Reynaldo Anderson feared that many Black people would die and that an unequal health care system would exacerbate the community’s pain.
Anderson, an associate professor of communications studies at Harris Stowe State University, wanted to document those experiences through art.
“I just kind of forecasted based upon what I was seeing as these existential threats, like, plague, systemic racism, crashing economy,” Anderson said. “I guess for some people, this is going to probably feel like the end of the world.”
