This is Injustice Case (1970) by David Hammons From the exhibit “Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power” at the Tate Modern in London, an examination and celebration of the work of black artists produced from 1963 to 1983.

The piece, painted in 1970, was created in response to Chicago 8 trial of Black Panther leader Bobby Seale, who was gagged and chained to his chair for much of the courtroom proceedings.

Eye-catching and eye-opening, and most importantly, still very fresh and relevant.
