About:

Also being the lead organizing member of the art collective House of Ladosha, Christopher has shown recently in the New Museum’s “Trigger: Gender as a Tool and a Weapon” 40 year anniversary show and he was apart of the chosen artists in The Shed’s Open Call grant program/ show that was on show in the new Hudson Yards Shed gallery, NYC in June 2019. In 2021 Chris was elected to be Co-Chair of board at Recess Gallery, Brooklyn NY.
