Group Show - Inheritors of Movement
Inheritors of Movement is a four-person exhibition featuring works made by Black artists of immigrant descent. This multidisciplinary exhibition gathers members of the Black immigrant diaspora to explore the gifts, tribulations, griefs, and celebrations that come from their family’s migration from home to home. Concurrently, the United States is enacting anti-immigrant violence through ICE. This exhibition recognizes that the violence of ICE intersects with the histories of violence inflicted upon Black Americans. Centering Black immigrant descendants offers a unique chance to hold both communities together, build a wider coalition, and enact imaginations inspired by what we’ve inherited across movements – familial and political. This exhibition features the efforts, loves, confusions, and dreams of bæ, Naomi Likayi, Yesmín Abduljalil, and Yaya El Tiempo, who also serves as curator. On view through July 27.
