Right On!

 

At the height of the BLM movement and the rise in Asian hate crimes in 2020, conceptual artist, Angie Eng developed her civil rights series ‘Right On!’

Wooden plaques painted in various shades of skin tones contain dates and QR codes. These dates refer to landmark Supreme court cases tracing systemic discrimination based on class, race, ethnicity, gender, and ability. The QR codes lead to a site that describes each court case decision.

Fueled by a commission from Stop Asian Hate, an initiative of the Center of Humanities

at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Eng previously mounted a silent art procession in Boulder, Colorado in October 2022.

On March 25, 2023, a growing ensemble of Sacramento organizers, participants and

supporters will recreate and expand on this social justice art action. 50+ organizations, 20 musicians, and 150 walkers will be part of the Right On! Sacramento event.
