About this Event

Black Women's Art Ecosystems Sites of Wellness and Self-Care.Light refreshments will be provided.
About the book: Delving into historical and contemporary practices, Jackson looks at Black women who use their artwork as acts of resistance, self-expression, and holistic wellness. Jackson’s multidisciplinary approach blends art history, Black studies, and personal narratives to examine the ways that the art ecosystems created by these women foster resilience and empowerment. Their dramatic stories underscore the transformative power of art in cultivating activism and mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, but also provide a framework for understanding how art can be a vital component of self-care and communal wellness. A meticulous portrait and inspiring roadmap, Black Women’s Art Ecosystems celebrates Black women’s artistic achievements while revealing how their work creates communities of restoration and mental health.
