The Lost Tribe project will be a series of work that Russell Craig has previously created as well as new work exploring the African Diaspora. The idea of The Lost Tribe is based around a group of people who were displaced and separated to different countries where they ultimately lost their identity and culture due to oppression. This work reflects the history of slavery by incorporating the reality of black people in America and how we have been subsequently displaced through mass incarceration, the destruction of families, limited funding and resources in our communities, and the systematic oppression we face.

The Lost Tribe will be a traveling exhibit highlighting the inhumane treatment of black people in America. Craig will have the exhibit displayed in various public community centers around the country and invite the public to engage with the work. There will be an open discussion with local activists to further connect the people to the issue where they are free to ask questions and educate themselves more on the problems at hand. Ideally, within each city such as Houston and Atlanta, there will be an additional speaker who is influential to the community such as a political figure or activist to deepen the discussion. The Lost Tribe project will travel to bring light on issues we face and encourage the viewers to use their power to improve our circumstances around the nation. Ultimately, the project will be an impactful display that everyone can enjoy and be inspired.
