new, site- specific, large-scale drawings in which he explores the troubled past and dystopian future of Detroit. Incorporating images of oceanic waves set against various elements such as headlines from vintage Detroit newspapers, the drawings reference a literal and figurative “underground” Detroit, from the buried ruins of riots to the city’s alternative music scene. For example, in the techno sounds of Drexciya, an electronic music duo from Detroit, Arceneaux locates ghosts of the city’s past… The title of Arceneaux’s series, “Slave Ship Zong,” elaborates on Drexciya’s folklore by directly referencing the massacre of more than 140 enslaved Africans by the crew of the Liverpool slave-trading ship Zong in 1781—when the ship ran low on water following navigational mistakes, the crew threw a number of slaves into the sea to drown.
