UNEARTHED: Emergence of the Resurgence, A Juneteenth Exhibition promoting Unity, Community and Freedom 🌟

Incredibly excited and honored to invite you all to UNEARTHED, our next groundbreaking exhibition digging deep into the synergistic outer and inner worlds of a hand-selected array of acclaimed and rising artists of different forms. Works will unveil the hidden treasures in the joys and challenges faced on the journey of liberation, embodying our human experience as spiritual beings.

Featuring Debbie Allen’s iconic contemporary retelling of the classic tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses, “BROTHERS OF THE KNIGHT” showcasing original never before seen in person illustrations by Kadir Nelson with a curated selection of featured artists, full artist lineup coming soon!

Unearthed explores themes of identity, heritage, and belonging within the context of Juneteenth. Artists may draw upon personal experiences, family histories, and cultural traditions to create artwork that speaks to the complexities of African American identity and the journey toward self-discovery.
