Graham-Brown's work's ritual and cathartic power draws public attention to the existence of popularly held prejudices and acts as a palliative gesture to dispel the trauma and shame to which people of color and gay people are routinely subjected.-Dean Daderko Guest curator, Disconnecting, Reconnecting...Disconnected, Aljira A Center of Contemporary Art, 2011
