Gallery’s mission is to provide both cause and caliber in its presentation of
works by established and emerging Black artists from Africa and the diaspora.
In selecting artists, works, and themes, the gallery ascribes to Okwui Enwenzor’s
expression that the aim of curating is not to be a tastemaker but to provide knowledge
- not just of art but of the world in which it is made. “Art
is not a luxury as many people think - it is a necessity.
It documents history
- it helps to educate people and stores
knowledge for generations to come.”
- Dr. Samella Lewis |
