Black joy is everywhere. Black joy has always been and will always be.
In Unadulterated Black Joy, a group exhibition by Black mothers and artists, Alison Croney Moses, Ekua Holmes, L’Merchie Frazier, Tanya Nixon-Silberg, and Zahirah Nur Truth , we bring this joy to the front for all to see as an act of resistance self-preservation, play and the invitation to center self-care.

The opening will include a stepping performance from EmpowHER’d and remarks from the artists.

More about EmpowerHER’d:

We are EmpowHER’d. We are Black women with a purpose. We are mothers filled with love, who honor our past and take pride in our future. We show up in all facets of life, unapologetically. We love hard, stomp harder and with passion. EmpowHER’d is made up of women who found joy with one another through stepping in high school over 20 years ago. Back then we were award winning steppers with top-notch plastic trophies. Now some of our trophies include our beautiful children, partners and the ability to move and breathe. We’ve been sitting still for too long. It’s time to step up, show out and be empowHER’d!
