First Friday June | Remembering: Resist, Reveal, Reclaim

"REMEMBERING: Resist, Reveal, ReClaim” is presented by Crafting Blackness initiative, a five-year collaborative research, publication, and exhibition series to advance the visibility of Black Craft and African American artists in Tennessee since 1920 up to present.

The exhibition is co-curated by Karlota Contreras-Koterbay, Director of Slocumb Galleries at East Tennessee State University and Director of the Crafting Blackness Initiative, and Dr. Cynthia Gadsden, Associate Professor of Art History at Tennessee State University, whose research areas include the visual arts, the lived experience, and the ways knowledge is transferred across generations via culture, relationships, and story.

This exhibition and related programming are funded in part by a grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission, Arts Fund of East Tennessee Foundation, In These Mountains from South Arts, Bravissima! Women Sponsoring the Arts, and Eastern Tennessee State University.
