Collective Yearning: Black Women Artists from the Zimmerli Art Museum
Featuring prints, photographs, and multimedia artworks, this exhibition is the first time the university has conducted a comprehensive and methodical review of its holdings of art by Black women artists. Many of the artists have ties to New Jersey, New York City, and Philadelphia, ranging from canonical figures such as Rutgers faculty and artists Emma Amos and Kara Walker to emerging artists Nona Faustine, Atisha Fordyce, and Daonne Huff.
The exhibition is curated by Dr. Amber Wiley, Assistant Professor, Art History, Rutgers University, and her students Jasmine Daria Cannon, Kyle b. co., Helen Gao, Grace Lynne Haynes, Emily Hu, Grace Kim, Desiree Morales, Michael Randall, and Audrey Roclore.
The exhibition is on view in the Mary H. Dana Women Artists Series Galleries at Mabel Smith Douglass Library, from September 6-December 14, with an accompanying satellite exhibition in the Focus Gallery at the Zimmerli Art Museum.
