She Carried Us: Legacies of Labor, Love, and Liberation

The 5th Annual Dzigbodi Akyea Art Show

This year, the theme is "She Carried Us: Legacies of Labor, Love, and Liberation,” honoring the countless ways Black women have shaped our communities, our culture, and our future. This theme celebrates both the visible and invisible labor that has sustained generations, the love that has nurtured families and movements, and the ongoing fight for liberation that continues to transform our world.

Through creative, communal, and revolutionary work, Black women have shaped histories both personal and collective. This exhibition centers the often-overlooked contributions of Black women across generations: the hands that build, the hearts that hold, and the voices that challenge systems. 

A reception will be held on Thursday, February 5, from 5:30 to 8:30 pm.
