“Everything falls to time / Everything falls in place”

Shabez Jamal

On view through March 20, 2026

Oresman Gallery, Brown Fine Arts Center

This immersive installation examines the connection between the Black built environment and space/time. It draws on the complex histories of Black cities and townships established after U.S. slavery, as well as the rich history of religious syncretism that developed alongside this migration. This work offers a new understanding of illegibility and of place, time, and space as crucial tools for subverting systems of power.
