The Black Woman Is God exhibition has challenged patriarchal constructions of Black femininity; each has a visual arts exhibition, interpretive panel discussions, artists’ talks, and contextualizing performances investigating how black women artists produce art, dance, sculpture, and ritual as the highest form of knowledge.
The exhibit theme this year for 2023 is MOTHERHOOD. Black women artists will examine what MOTHERHOOD means to them. They will investigate the social conditions that profoundly impact Black mothers. Black mother figures who work towards a collective resistance against a systemically violent society: black women artists will question what social conditions disrupt Black mothers' ability to claim their own bodies and become caregivers to their children, Black mothers who fear for their children while reminding them that their lives have endless possibilities, and Black women that assume the roles of MOTHERHOOD without children or recognition. What are the ways these artists provide solutions for healing generational trauma, and, in doing so, create art as a ritual practice that affirms the divine feminine?
