No reason to miss Pyramid Atlantic’s Exhibition Nine Artists | Nine Months | Nine Perspectives: Birth of 2020 Visions ! View the exhibit in person or online July 24—August 29, 2021.
Responding to the events of 2020, a collective of mature Black women artists were compelled to create work that transcended and transformed the traumatic events of 2020. Together they began a collaborative artist book project, started in September of 2020 and finished in May of 2021. These powerful, intricate, and beautiful books will be displayed at Pyramid alongside individual works by each artist.
WPC Members Adjoa J. Burrowes and Gail Shaw-Clemons have work featured in this show. Additional artists: Julee Dickerson-Thompson, Aziza Claudia Gibson-Hunter, Michele Godwin, Francine Haskins, Pamela Harris Lawton, Gloria Patton, and Kamala Subramanian.

Of the work, the artists write, “We understand that the narratives of white people may take precedence in the gestation of traumatic events taking place. However, we reject the attempts of white neutrality to define our realities. In transforming our trauma, we created visual narratives to document our images, our words, and our assessments of this era; a transgressive act. As seasoned Womanist artists, we have acquired skills over decades sharpened by profound life experiences.”
