In honor of Black History Month, this exhibition featuring Black Women artists encourages viewers to consider the nuances within one’s identity and the importance of representation. Inspired by a 1982 anthology of essays that shed light on the importance of representation of Black women writers and thinkers, the show intends to provoke a similar conversation while amplifying the voices of visiting artists. In the art world, Black women artists are among the least represented groups, making up only 0.5 percent of museum acquisitions. The works in Brave touch on different facets of identity, community, and status.
