Featured Image for Sherrill Roland exhibits at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, New York

Sherrill Roland (MFA 2017/BFA 2009) exhibits his drawings, and multimedia sculptures reflecting his life experiences after a wrongful incarceration in the exhibition Hindsight Bias at the Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in New York. This exhibition follows up from his “Jumpsuit Project” in which he wore an orange jumpsuit and encouraged dialog with the community about what it means to be incarcerated. To read more about Roland’s story and his reflections on his experience with the American criminal justice system see the January 20, 2022 Guardian Article by David Smith.
