The Black Woman is God: Reprogramming That God Code, curated by Karen Seneferu and Melorra Green, celebrates the Black female presence as the highest spiritual form and challenges viewers to do the same. More than 60 intergenerational artists working in sculpture, painting, and new media hone in on the vital contributions of Black women as artists and social change-makers, ensuring that the Black woman’s contribution to society is seen and valued. The free public opening reception on Thursday, July 7 features a procession of women Djemba drummers and participatory dance performance led by Sister Nau-T Agu, and the annual Night Light multimedia garden party on July 23 features exhibition-inspired audiovisual performances and performative interventions by 22 artists, and digital and cinematic projections and multimedia installations by 44 artists.
