About the event

Kenkeleba House: The Last Surviving Downtown Art Collective

Coinciding with the exhibition’s closing, MMA is hosting a two-day program on January 23 and 24, 2026, exploring Overstreet’s work with Kenkeleba House, a community arts organization that Overstreet co-founded on New York’s Lower East Side in 1974. The event connects this important part of Overstreet’s career to Black-led arts initiatives active in Jackson today.

Free and open to the public. Check back for more information and to register.
