In all of Kaphar's exhibitions, they're always on the East Coast (aside from the one in London). Granted it could be because he prefers the East Coast over the West Coast, or could it be a strategic choice of the artist’s doing? As I mentioned above, one of Kaphar’s main focuses is amending history: the history of African Americans and their enslaved past. In a majority of his work, he takes images created and made for white people and refurbishes them into images created and made for every person to see and learn from the past. So why possibly choose to have these exhibitions on just one side of America? Could it be because LACMA does not accept Kaphar’s work? Or could it be that’s where the origin of his paintings come from? The places he chose to have his exhibitions in were all apart of the first 13 colonies: the “start of American society”. These places were where Americans began to enslave African Americans and even the exhibition in London pays homage to the British people during the reign of Great Britain who initiated enslaving Africans. 

In order to make a difference, you must start at the beginning. Kaphar’s choice in placing his physical art where it all begin just shows how Kaphar is strategic about every action of presenting his art. While Washington D.C might of not been of apart of first 13 colonies of America, it is the capital of current America. In his exhbition located Washington D.C, it is titled: Our Past in a New Light. In my understnading, I believe he choose this place because it's the national capital of America. What's the best place to revision the hisotry America if not in the national place of American government and society.
