RIP WHITE JESUS

RIP WHITE JESUS

RIP White Jesus was a project by Hisham Fageeh, existing in four realms: conceptual, product, exhibit, and virtual experiences.

Beginning September 23rd, 2020, Think Tank Gallery partnered with The Creator for the Gallery’s 10yr Anniversary and departure from their venue amidst pandemic.

This project began in July ‘20 with an international casting forum call for the Re-Casting of the Christ, to conclude with an American Idol-style voting for the New Jesus (more below). In between those flashpoints, a variety of Art Item and Service-based experiences including an Augmented Reality Deconstruction of White Jesus occurred.

The aptly titled “RIP White Jesus” Art Book was created in response to this recasting, augmented by artist Mark Sabb and curated by Tatum Hawkins. This 2020 iteration of the ongoing RIP White Jesus project culminated in live-streamed going-away party in Skid Row on stolen Tongva land, at Think Tank Gallery’s late venue. See more on the book and attached project on Forbes, as written by Jesse Damiani.
