Too Much Sauce

The Teens of Making Justice and Faisal Abdu’Allah

December 2016 - January 2017

Too Much Sauce represents more than the Black vernacular vocabulary and surpasses notions of race, while simultaneously recognizing its consequences. This Making Justice exhibition brought together UW students, staff, and the youth of greater Madison to celebrate cultural relativity, political awareness, and human growth and development. The 15-week project emphasized the multi-vocality and diversity of the youth who are at the forefront of of our nation’s revolution, yet are the stones that the builder refuses. The art in this exhibition tells stories about our youth, survival, and thriving in an environment where the stakes are high.

Too Much Sauce
It means the sauciness of the kids
The creativity that the kids have
Their artistic flow
