Deon Jones

Deon Jones is a musician and artist with one of the most important voices of his generation. Jones created his first recording project-a powerful rendition of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" featuring Academy Award-winning composer Jon Batiste-after being shot by police in the face with a rubber bullet during the 2020 summer protests. The recording, which is included in Glenn Kaino's In the Light of a Shadow , has been hailed by Rolling Stone & U2's Bono as "transformative" and by The Boston Globe as "a performance with clarifying power." Jones brings his transformative energy to the Hunter Center this January. Prior to the performance, from 7-7:45pm, Glenn Kaino will be signing copies of his exhibition catalogue This Book is a Promise in the museum store. And then Deon Jones' pops up in Glenn Kaino's In the Light of a Shadow on Sunday, January 30, at 12pm and 1pm, with an intro from Kaino himself. Free with gallery admission.
