From Shantrelle Lewis:
A multi-media exhibit about Sex Crimes committed against Black Girls.
Curated by Shantrelle P. Lewis
I am currently looking for work from emerging female artists of African descent that addresses issues of molestation, incest, rape or sexual exploitation of young black females. This show is inspired by Hortense Spillers? essay, ??The Permanent Obliquity of an In(pha)llibly Straight??: In the Time of Fathers and Daughters.? I invite artists to submit provocative and dynamic work of all mediums – sculpture, photography, painting, printmaking, illustration, installation, graphic design, and video. This exhibit seeks to shed light on a particular byproduct of racism and patriarchy that generally remains ignored within the Black community.
Exhibition Dates: Spring 2010
The George & Leah McKenna Museum of African American Art
New Orleans, LA
