Lewis Gallery (The corner of Lewis Ave. & Decatur Street)

Saturday July 17, 2010

11- 7pm

This group exhibition offers contemporary artistic depictions of women of African descent, focusing specifically on their interiority. Rather than examining women through the objectivity of their bodies, the artists portray African Diasporan women as active participants in their own visual representations. Ain’t I A Woman features works in painting, video, installation and mixed media by damali abrams, Eric Alugas, Kimberly Becoat, Priscila De Carvalho, Andrea Chung, Elizabeth Colomba, William Mwazi, Kenya (Robinson), Phoenix Savage and Francis Simeni. Taking its title from the 1885 speech given by orator and activist Sojourner Truth, this exhibition attempts to move the conversation toward the intellectual, emotional and spiritual components in the lives of women of African descent. In addition, each featured artist is paired with an African female poet, selected from The Heinemann Book of African Women’s Poetry and uses the poets’ literary works as inspiration. The exhibition curator, Kimberli Gant, also adds a participatory component. Every visitor will receive a card to answer questions on their own perspectives of women of African descent. The finished cards will be placed on one of the gallery walls for others to view and contemplate for the duration of the exhibition.

Curated by Jacqui D. Woods, five award winning black Brooklyn photographers, through its people, spiritual life, community events, including protests, legislative and other leaders capture Brooklyn during the 1960's -1980's. This is life in black Brooklyn at the height of the tumultuous Civil and Human Rights Movements. This exhibition will take place from July 31- September 30th, 2010.
