David Huffman

David Huffman was born in Berkeley, California in 1963. He received his MFA at the California College of Arts and Crafts, Oakland in 1999.

Informed by historical and contemporary events, Huffman unfolds and epic story of African American space explorers called Traumasmiles, a civilisation marked by the mask of the minstrel’s broad smile, whose metaphoric conflicts parallel nations/state, religious, racial and personal tragedies.
