Opening Reception: Friday, March 30, 5-7 pm

This exhibition features the works of nine contemporary artists from across the country and abroad who are dealing with the problems involved in attempting to define the African/African American self. A broad range of artistic media are included (painting, photography, sculpture, installation), demonstrating both traditional and more conceptual approaches to representing visually the diversity of experience and history that today informs notions of individual identity within diasporic African communities.
