Jubalo opened his new exhibition this weekend. It’s called “The Dirty Dozen: Jim Crow Fantasies.” Like the title suggests, it’s comprised of 12 works of heavily layered paint and mixed media, and it takes a direct look at some of the myths and misconceptions that grew out of the Jim Crow South and centuries of slavery before that.
