Rhythm & Art: Reception Night
February 29 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm EST
About the Exhibit:
In this exhibition, Rhythm & Art: A Polvocal Song of Blackness and Being, local Black artists bring to the fore a wide range of topics: sisterhood, coming of age, nature as a family member, being of a diaspora, and more. Much like Blackness, this exhibition resists the boundaries that labels and language often attempt to enforce. Viewers are encouraged to question what “Black art” is and contemplate how the Black experience may contour and highlight the creative practice.
We hope that this multimedia exhibit pushes at the walls of this space and reaches far beyond them — much like the minds of the brilliant artists who created the work on display. Each artist dutifully crafted lyrical works, commenting on the human condition. On their own, each piece stands powerfully but woven together here the art becomes a Sunday choir singing a polyvocal song.
Showing in the Huret and Spector Gallery from February 26th – February 29th.
