Artist Lurlynn Franklin Talks about her Recent work at Caritas village.

Women for Provocative Arts talk to Lurlynn Franklin about one of her paintings during her reception at Caritas Village. "Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness" Will be on exhibit through October, it is recent work by Franklin and can be considered some of her most direct art dealing with social standard racial stereotype. 

Franklin states that it is "a collection of story quilts and poetry which are distinctly African American in content, addressing the thin line drawn between stereotypes and truths. Both the writings and the visuals lend themselves towards social commentary, deliberately falling short in being hardcore political, the work lightly and deceptively skims the surface of personal politics, focusing on the mainstreams of modern "colored" life with humor and sarcasm."
