Several artists in southcentral Washington state are responding to last month’s shooting in Pasco.A new show titled “Unmasked” just opened at WSU Tri-Cities. Several works in the show explore the shooting of Antonio Zambrano-Montes.
Chris Cannon, an art student at WSU Tri-Cities, grew up in Pasco, near the corner where Zambrano-Montes was shot. He felt safe there. So, when protesters marched through his hometown on Valentine’s Day, Cannon knew it was history. He saw it as people taking a conversation that was happening online, and moving it out in public.
“Unmasked” features poetry art and sculpture on the theme of sociopolitical issues. It will be on display at WSU Tri-Cities through the end of March.
