Opens tomorrow! SHE'S SO ARTICULATE: BLACK WOMEN ARTISTS RECLAIM THE NARRATIVE

A NEW EXHIBITION AT THE ARLINGTON ARTS CENTER CONFRONTS ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT NARRATIVE ART

On June 13, 2008, the Arlington Arts Center hosts a reception for a new exhibition that examines storytelling techniques in art made by black female artists. “She’s So Articulate: Black Women Artists Reclaim the Narrative” explores the art world’s longstanding, sometimes dismissive, assumptions about African American narrative art, Black female artists’ connections to shared culture and history, and the ways in which those connections get articulated in recent contemporary fine art. The exhibition closes on July 19.

“She’s So Articulate" will employ the work of approximately 12 Black female artists including selected works and room-filling installations by Maya Asante, Renee Cox, Stephanie Dinkins, Nekisha Durrett, Faith Ringgold, Erika Ranee, Nadine Robinson, Renee Stout, and others.
