SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 327
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the I See You art exhibit, which is currently on
display at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, The I See You exhibit brings together a unique mix
of modern and traditional works by artists who are Texas natives
or those who have artwork in Texas collections; the works tell
the stories of leaders, both celebrated and overlooked, who have
stood up for equality and justice; and
WHEREAS, The name of the exhibit is a tribute to the
African greeting Sawa Bona, which acknowledges our shared human
connection and celebrates our collective existence; and
WHEREAS, The exhibit is a curated collection of works
created by artists Kelley Devine, Mario Figueroa Jr., Jennifer
Hannaford, Robert Hodge, Taft McWhorter, and Steven Silverstein;
it will be on display at the Capitol office of Senator Rodney
Ellis throughout the 84th Legislative Session; and
WHEREAS, I See You represents the hope, strength, and
progressiveness of the Lone Star State and celebrates those who
have championed liberty and human rights, and all who helped
organize the exhibit are indeed deserving of recognition; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby commend the artists and curators of the I See
You exhibit for their efforts to preserve the rich history of our
state and to tell the stories of the many leaders who have served
as champions of liberty; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared as a
memento of this special event.
Ellis
