In these pieces, "Cultural Studies in Black and White," jd has set aside color to draw into powerful focus themes, issues, and phenomena that define, shape, and challenge us. From the bodily joy of dance to the seductive enticement of video gambling, there is something in this show to make anyone experience and think deeply about culture through art.
