Thoughts & Prayers, Another Round of Vacant Stares is an analysis of the American gun culture.  This exhibition highlights artwork that examines the impact guns have within our nation, as a symbol of power and freedom, or as an instrument to incite fear and cause harm. Firearms affect all American populations and demographics.  The artwork featured in this exhibition is meant to facilitate a dialog on the divisive iconology of guns and the power or fear they represent, as they allow some to become empowered, while suppressing others.

Chashama Matawan is proud to partner with Moms Demand Action, Gays Against Guns, and #UNLOAD. 

Thoughts & Prayers, Another Round of Vacant Stares will be on view August 13th – September 19th 2020, by appointment only, at Chashama Matawan, 60 Main Street, Matawan, NJ 07747.
