Ervin A. Johnson’s arresting large-scale, photo-based work is rooted in his personal experiences as a queer black man and the killing of black people across America. #InHonor is a series of photographic mixed media portraits that represent Johnson’s visceral response to racism and police brutality done to the black body. Johnson began InHonor around the time of the Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner protests as a way to make his voice heard. He wants these portraits to stand as a forceful and visceral reminder of the strength, resiliency and beauty of the black body.
