NINA CHANEL ABNEY: FLAGGED
ANTHONY GALLERY | 1360 W Lake St, Chicago, IL 60607, USA
JAN 30, 2025 - MAR 1, 2025
FLAGGED is a solo exhibition by Nina Chanel Abney that uses a range of mediums to examine the complexities of patriotism, identity, and representation in contemporary America. Through reimagined American symbols, Abney combines humor and irony to critique the gap between national ideals and lived experiences, while exploring themes of resistance, labor, and the commodification of identity. Her work challenges viewers to confront how cultural symbols are shaped, weaponized, and reclaimed, prompting a deeper reflection on freedom, power, and the narratives that define who belongs in the American story.
