American Fiction

Monk, a frustrated novelist who's fed up with the establishment profiting from "Black" entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes, uses a pen name to write an outlandish "Black" book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.

92% on Rotten Tomatoes

Cord Jefferson's directorial debut. Starring Jeffrey Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Sterling K. Brown.

“One of the best and boldest American comedies in years with a dynamite performance by an Oscar-ready Jeffrey Wright.” – ABC News

“The best picture of the year.” – Washington Post

"Jefferson puts his heart into the moments that even his movie’s own marketing leaves out. Satire is just a wraparound gimmick for a marvelously acted, naturalistic drama about a prickly, privileged Black man and his family." - New York Times

Paintings that are based upon pictures that Steven took in his Westville, New Haven neighborhood. Some are also based on photos taken around Nagoya and Tokyo, Japan.

Through this exhibition, DiGiovanni seeks to navigate in the liminal terrain between the disinterested aesthetics of forensic photography and the poetics of space and narrative.
