Columbus State Community College and Black History Month 2022

“This piece is a mixed media collage inspired by the artist Pinklomein, whose work has an emphasis on uplifting women,” said Robinson. “I chose to focus my attention on this artist because her work reminds me of the women in my life who inspire me.” The faces in the painting, as described by Robinson, are people she sees in the news and who represent those in the local racial justice movement who have been denied access to the space they deserve or are fighting to reclaim it. They include – in the lower center – Tamala Payne, the mother of Casey Goodson Jr., a Black man killed by a Franklin County Deputy, and local civil rights attorney Sean Walton. Robinson said, “I am hoping this piece brings peace and curiosity to anyone who views it, and ‘You are deserving of every space you are in.’”
