AMALA: She Could Not Stay (In Their Black Bodies)

Join us for the opening reception Feb 7, 6 – 9 PM. Exhibit up until March 22nd.

In the Great Lakes Region, an emerging, yet longstanding concern regarding infant mortality and race, specifically for African-American families has attention. The cost of the legacy of enslavement on our entry and our leaving interrupts—a continual tearing from land. This work examines the relationship between loss, displacement, relocation and the cost of accumulated histories on black gendered bodies that birth.
