Exhibition Statement
Why do you underestimate my talents, my voice, my presence, my purity? Is it Because I'm Black or Is It Because I'm Me?
Black art is an expression and extension of ourselves. Words we may not be able to articulate, we transform into beautiful, yet sometimes disturbing, compositions depicting the complexities and hardships of being Black.
Join us and be exposed to the world of the contemporary Black artist. Witness as we—with liberty, boldness and spontaneity—navigate the negative stereotypes and barriers thrown our way on a daily basis.
