This 96 page, hard cover catalogue features 43 color images of brown's work, and details her residency at the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland. Featuring an essay by MOCA Associate Curator and Director of Education Megan Lykins Reich and an interview by Isolde Brielmaier.

iona rozeal brown examines the globalization and appropriation of hip-hop culture in vibrant large-scale acrylic paintings. brown integrates hip-hop’s stylistic motifs into the compositional framework of Japan’s most illustrious modern artistic tradition: ukiyo-e printmaking. Connecting hip-hop’s material culture to the opulent ukiyo-e world of geishas, samurais, and Kabuki actors, brown reveals the malleable, polymorphic nature of history, culture, and identity. A MOCA Cleveland exclusive.
