WHAT IS THE SERIES ABOUT??

The “A Walk In The Park In America” series by visual artist and photographer, and ARTPRIZE 2D JURIED AWARD WINNINER Monroe A. O’Bryant, seeks to interpret the lasting effects of cultural and familial separation on Black American communities as a result of the onset of the African Diaspora. One of the intents of the series is to share perspective that explores the Black community’s dependency on the system of Capitalism and its Titans despite the national populous being largely socially and economically disenfranchised and historically regarded as languid and uninspired. Additionally, through its imagery, the series looks to interpret and disclose a narrative regarding the root cause of the genocidal effects of Black-on-Black violence and various other types of contentious dynamics that exist in the community.
In the end, the objective is to not feed the fire of culturally rooted opposition but instead, create the basis upon which healthy and respectful dialogue can exist in an effort to construct a resolution that everyone can contribute to and be proud of.
Open your heart and mind and let’s take “A Walk In The Park In America.”

We are in the state of emergency, as well in a state of extinction. This is why I use my camera as a weapon to bring awareness. To open multiple frequencies that is hidden in plain sight within our society.  My juxtapositional methods used in my series is motivated by optimism and delusion.  

I believe that on the human being will coexist with each, while sharing power strategies which all can maintain with out conflict with out the horrors of Systematic Racism in America.

I believe my Africans in America will one day and realized the dispairs we face daily,  restablishing family relationships, produce an economic system within our cultures, that will help us thrive in the human race.
 
Yet, I'm delusional, praying that my beliefs will happen. Am I wrong?  -Ak 

I will be beyond words greatful if you will support this important series for this years Artprize 9
