Jeremy Okai Davis was recently featured in the Willamette Week for his new body of work, from the stage, a calling…, an exhibition exploring the rich history of Black performance—on view at Elizabeth Leach Gallery on view November 7 - December 7, 2024.
“Viewers should lose themselves in Jeremy Okai Davis’ latest portrait exhibit, from the stage, a calling…, as soon as possible.”
—Mac Smiff, Willamette Week
“For his third art installment since he began working with the gallery in 2019, Davis looks to highlight the history and spirit of Black performance through a collection of portraits analyzing and celebrating the rich, complex and often tragic development of African American arts as acts of resistance and resilience,” said Smiff.
