Make sure to stop by the Welcome Center during your next visit to view Newark photographer's David Orrell's digital installation, 'Made in Newark: Queer Black Bodies.' Orrell’s art is rooted in a practice that explores the beauty and vitality of the Black figure. By exploring themes of intimacy and identity, both individually and culturally, Orrell’s work encompasses the complexities of Blackness. At its core, Orrell’s work is a character study of himself, taking into consideration the intersectionality of collective memory and restorative imagination–balancing what was, is, and could be as he continues a legacy of Black portraiture. _ Photos by David Orrell
