“VOICES foregrounds the narratives that have encompassed Black beauty in America in the current era… [illustrating] the strength and luster we find in the Black body, the tenacity that our ancestors displayed when faced with the bounteous trauma of the past four previous centuries. The aim of this exhibition is to explore that same Black body voicing its experiences in the modern day era of society. The message? We are strong,” says Musa. On view by appointment-only through September 8th, VOICES will benefit Art Start and Black Artist Fund.
