Ro2 Art will present "In America," a solo exhibition featuring new works by artist Joey Brock. The substance of Brock’s work is oriented around self-acceptance and self-love, something that had eluded the artist for many years while coming of age as gay in a small Texas town. Seeking to offer a voice to Americans who are not often heard, Brock utilizes multiple applications including photography, sculpture, collage based photos, light box installations, video and sound to portray his ideas. His subjects’ personal stories and accounts become the spirit of the work as Brock explores various identities in the hope of inspiring deeper empathy. In America invites viewers to confront societal norms and challenge perceptions and perspective biases.

The exhibition will open with an artist reception at Ro2 Art Downtown from 12-5 pm. Following the opening reception, the exhibition will be on display through October 31.
