Forward Ever—Celebrating Where We At Black Women Artists (1971-Now)
Forward Ever—Celebrating Where We At Black Women Artists, (1971-Now), at Weeksville Heritage Center presents works from members Claudia Aziza Gibson-Hunter, Sadikisha Collier, Jerrolyn Crooks deGracia, Charlotte Ka, Dindga McCannon, Ann Tanksley, Joyce Wellman, and Viola Burley Leak, reflecting on the broader narrative of Black women in art. This exhibition invites us to question how we can sustain spaces that nurture the artistic pursuits of those at the furthest margins, reject the gatekeeping that stifles creativity, and transcend our silos as we harness the power of the collective to support each other on life’s journey.
