{"title":"Lex Marie","description":"\u003cp\u003eLex Marie (b. 1992, Prince George's County, MD) is a multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, installation, and painting. Rooted in her lived experience as a Black mother raising a son in the Washington, DC area, her practice examines how Black childhood is shaped by adultification, discipline, surveillance, and systemic inequity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLex transforms everyday and reclaimed materials, school uniforms, pencils, belts, report cards, hospital blankets, into charged objects that expose the hidden curriculum embedded within American institutions. Her 2022 solo exhibition, Let Them Kids Be Kids, at the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington confronted bias within educational spaces; her work has since gone viral for its unflinching look at discipline within Black households, and been featured at the David C. Driskell Center\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHometown\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrince George's County, MD\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/goodblackart.com\/collections\/lex-marie.oembed","provider":"Good Black Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
