About this Event

Parking is available on the street and in municiple lots near the gallery as well as in the garage across the street. All parking requires payment but the cost is very reasonable.

Curated by Colette Gaiter, this exhibition brings the legacy and current work of four artists from the Black Panther Party (BPP) together to illuminate “the role of art in cultivating a radical imagination and developing activist practices.” Viewing their early work (made during the height of late 1960s – early 1970s social movements, rebellions, and uprisings against oppression of all kinds) next to their later and current work shows how they view social progress and change.

The curator will be in coversation with three of the artists in the gallery: Gayle Asali Dickson, Malik Edwards, and Akinsanya Kambon. Emory Douglas will join us via zoom.
