From the most intimate displays with family, lovers, and friends to the broader thru lines that keep us tethered and in communication, culturally. 2020 created an opportunity for us to recognize the value of with-ness and forced us to reexamine the ways that we protect, preserve, and grow relationships when traditional systems and ways of being are disrupted.
This exhibition is in tandem with Afrikana’s 6th annual 3-day film festival, September 16-19, 2021 based in Richmond, Virginia. To learn more about their programming visit, www.afrikanafilmfestival.org.
