Obscura Gallery is thrilled to present Parallel Playground, a collaborative photo-based exhibition with Obscura Gallery Apache artist Douglas Miles and New York City guest artist Al Díaz. Artist Douglas Miles (San Carlos Apache-Akimel O’odham) creates artistic work rooted in Apache history and deeply engaged with the world of contemporary pop culture. Al Díaz is an American urban artist best known for being among the first generation of graffiti writers in New York City and for co-creating the graffiti campaign SAMO© with Jean-Michel Basquiat in 1978. Each of these artists combines words, photographs, and painting in their art work, and their unique styles intersect with their deep passion for social justice within their own communities.
