YOUR ARTWORK

“Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter.”

— African Proverb

This African proverb reminds us that there is power in our stories.

For this exhibition, artists of the African diaspora are invited to create and reclaim narrative—to materialize the voice, and add volume to truth.

In your artist statement(s), please share how your submitted work connects to this theme of reclamation, authorship, and narrative power.

You may submit up to three separate works of art for consideration. Multiple submissions may be accepted in this exhibition.
