A Field of Dreams

In 2021, with the funding support of the Decentralization Community Arts Grant (a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts) we invited 10 Black women artists to take part in a collective art making retreat. Artists participated in a series of guided meditations and stream of consciousness writing exercises, and were prompted to create essays, poems and visuals on their ancestral recollections and interiority. These materials were curated into an immersive exhibit called "A Field of Dreams - Portraits and Meditations on Longing and Remembrance."
