HARD!

Hard Truth: (S)he Speaks Volumes is the life's work of critically acclaimed artist Thornton Dial, interpreted by internationally renowned poets, Januarie York, Sunni Patterson, Georgia Me, and Tasha Jones. With elegance and audacity, these poets examine the challenges and beauty of America, brilliantly expressed through the hands of Thornton Dial. Witness these poets making bold new verbal art from Dial’s dauntless visual art, brought to life from the museum walls.

Indianapolis native and Indiana's youngest Poet Laureate Nominee Tasha Jones returns Indianapolis from London and Lauryn Hill's Moving Target Tour with a deepened prospective and a renewed zeal. Says Ms. Jones: "One can expect TRUTH mirroring the time in which we live but translated by the elegance in which we pursue!"
