The event showcases the abstract paintings of the late artist, Joe Overstreet, who spent six decades pushing the boundaries of conventional canvas art with his vibrant works that leap off the wall and unfold in space like kites, sails, or kaleidoscope patterns. Despite moving away from the South at a young age, Overstreet's visual imagination was deeply rooted in his Mississippi upbringing, and his art reflects his engagement with the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, as well as his contribution to the Black Arts Movement.
