FREEZE TAG HUSTLERS GANG Boston artist Jamal Thorne’s sprawling collages use imagery from popular culture, religious iconography, and more to explore the performance of Black male identity and the fractured experience of being a Black man in the US. Figures in these works represent the gang of the title — men who must answer for rebelling against an unjust power structure, and who here offer symbols of hope. Through Oct. 15.
