The content in the exhibition, Shaun Leonardo: The Breath of Empty Space, reflects compounded inequalities and injustices in America. Building on a foundational knowledge of the psychosocial and physiological impact of institutionalized racism on the African American communities in Baltimore and beyond, this panel of health, social justice, and diversity professionals will present strategies for improving the holistic health of individuals and communities while critically examining the influence of anti-blackness embedded in systems and institutions.
