“Our Blues,” by Regina Y. Evans is a healing arts textile installation highlighting the sacredness and dynamic beauty of Black women. The installation focuses upon rage to joy, with the understanding that rage held with intention can be the fuel needed for upending injustices for the sake of necessary freedom.
Black women are the holders of varied coded chapters, divine feelings, insistent jubilations, and spirited pathways. From the melancholy of a poetic blue musical note to the nurturing blue of the wise ocean deep…this is “Our Blues”.
“The Devil I Dance With: the Makings of the U.S. Thru African American Eyes,” is an expression of the tenderness artist Rebecca Boyd Driver feels for the strength of her people, who in the face of tremendous ongoing oppression not only survived, but made us, American people, a better people in all areas and paved the way for all those who followed. Driver feels that no matter who you are and how you are ‘colored’ by your past and present, you can appreciate the reality of how African American people have shaped this country, and how deeply Black people are underappreciated, given the outsized role they have played, in the furtherance of this country’s ideals and construction.
