Playing the "Race Card"

The "Race Card" was a collaboration between our SURJ Southwest Florida group members, based on the large scale installation "Deconstruction: Challenging the Privilege of Denial," by SURJ member and artist, Rachel Bass. They serve as wonderful conversation starters and help to spread the message of SURJ. The back of the cards have a commonly used "excuse" followed by a statistic on systemic racism.

Please feel free to download and print your own set, we only ask that you do not alter the cards and that you make sure our website information is visible. 

Projects by Rachel Bass

Rachel Bass has been a SURJ of Southwest Florida member since August of 2015. She graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a B.A. in Art in May of 2016. Much of her recent work deals with the issue of racism and white privilege. She uses participation as a way to engage the viewer and give them the opportunity to become a part of the work and hopefully a part of the cause for racial justice.

"Whitewashing" by Rachel Bass

Intended to be a video installation, "Whitewashing" is a visual and auditory representation of our refusal to acknowledge that racism still exists, even when we are presented with indisputable evidence.
