S2 Episode 3: Rodney Ewing by Veteran Art Movement

Rodney Ewing is fascinated by questions of place: Who are certain places for? Who decides? Who gets left out? As a self-described "topics based artist," he uses whatever medium suits the message he intends to communicate, from printmaking to sculpture to installation art. A Gulf War veteran, whose father spent 20 years in the Air Force, military issues have informed his work significantly. Rodney talks about several recent projects, including Rituals of Water, which explores ways that water has displaced black and brown peoples over centuries. He also talks about his work with the Three Point Nine Art Collective, a group of African American artists in San Francisco addressing issues of displacement in their city.
