After 1968 artists Otabenga Jones & Associates lead a gallery discussion inspired by their ongoing educational art collaboration. Otabenga Jones & Associates is a Houston-based educational art collaborative named after Ota Benga, a pygmy brought to the United States from Africa in the early 1900s and exhibited at the Bronx Zoo. Jones committed suicide after being released from captivity. The artistic group explores African American identity politics through installation and performance art.
