During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, Winfred Rembert was arrested at a demonstration in Georgia. In 1967, he fled prison and survived an attempted lynching, only to be incarcerated again for several years. There, he learned to tool leather and worked on the chain gang, a group of incarcerated people chained together and forced to perform manual labor. Created decades after his release, these multiplied self-portraits evoke the personas that Rembert took on as a means of survival. \"It's like I was more than one person inside myself,\" he described. \"Taking that stance\u2014<em>all me</em>\u2014saved me.\"",
