About the event
Moody Gallery presents a comprehensive exhibition of works by Sophia Victor, tracing her artistic journey from
early formative works to her current and present-day practice. The exhibition offers a layered narrative of personal history,
collective memory, and social consciousness.
The exhibition includes paintings created for and inspired by incarcerated individuals, including works referencing the Black
Panther movement and the Exonerated Five, alongside deeply personal portraits of family members and intimate community figures. These earlier works establish the foundation of Victor’s practice—art as advocacy, care, and testimony.
Victor’s more recent works confront themes of justice, social freedom, systemic injustice, and police brutality, reflecting an artistwhose visual language continues to evolve while remaining anchored in truth-telling and accountability. Together, the works form a visual timeline—one that moves between the personal and the political, the intimate and the communal.
