Don't Miss Out on the Black Shero Online Visual & Literary Exhibition

1 Upvotes

April is Black Women History Month. Currently, there is an online exhibition of the visual and literary memoirs of American prison artist C-Note, "Black Shero: C-Note Celebrates Black Women History Month." It features a 25 year plus, body of work, uplifting and advocating for Black women. 

One such visual uplifting work was the 2009 drawing, "Colored Girl." Later, in 2015, he would create the Andy Warhol inspired "Colored Girl Warholed," the Black response to Warhol's 1962, "Four Marilyns." In 2021, during the worst of the Omicron variant of the Covid-19 pandemic, founder-owner Anna D. Smith of the Silicon Valley based Anna D. Smith Fine Art and Real Estate Broker curated the "'Look Up!' 2, Hope & Beauty" billboard art exhibition. 

Smith, also known as the "Queen of the Underground Art World," wanted to uplift spirits; especially in light of the fact, pandemic health restrictions prevented the public from having access to museums or galleries. It featured "Colored Girl Warholed," as a solo work at the entrance of Santana Row, the exclusive high end retail and residential district of the Silicon Valley.

One such literary work of note, was the article, "THE IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN VOICES IN STRUGGLE: Emphasis on the Black Woman’s Voice." It provides a never again mindset, from insights by Black Panther leaders Angela Y. Davis and Elaine Brown of the patriarchy that had existed amongst their organization. A similar theme could be heard from women participants during the civil rights movement.

Besides great works of art, there are poems, sound recordings and videos. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience this online Black cultural phenomenon, "Black Shero: C-Note Celebrates Black Women History Month" (https://blackshero.com/).

Purely Black traditional clothing?

3 Upvotes

I'm planning my wedding. I am African American and want to incorporate my linage into my wedding suit/gear. Obviously I'm not going full blown Stars and Stripes but I still want to honor my ancestors and the heritage I come from. I'm not sure how to do this and was seeking your advice.

When I look online the best advice I see is to incorporate a kente cloth dress or shirt, a dashiki, a pair of African print pants, a head-wrap, a pair of sandals.. I don't feel like this is my ancestors when I think of African Americans none of them in the photos as enslaved people or in my album wear this.

Obviously as enslaved people the options were scares and the closer to today, the clothing is suit and tie. Any other ideas for someone trying to incorporate the true African American cultural aspect into a wedding (to acknowledge lineage) and not flamboyant patriotism?
