Pleasant Plains Workshop presents Americana- a solo exhibition by DC-based artist, and 2013 Sondheim Finalist, Larry Cook. Cook will utilize photography, video and and an interactive web platform to create a multi-media installation that reflects on black culture and American identity. In anticipation for the show, Cook invites viewers to contribute to his ongoing blog ‘Sag My Pants’- a lighthearted exploration of why ‘the young folk’ choose to participate in this trend, and whether they are aware of its cultural roots.
