The Community Gallery and guest curators Jakia Fuller and Aaron Payne invited Black artists from Santa Fe and across New Mexico to explore and share Black expression through the lens of truth, memory, joy, and resistance. There is a shared understanding in the Black community that one must be able to chew gum and walk at the same time, meaning multiple realities coexist. Even in times of grief and resistance, there are moments of joy. These themes, Truth, Memory, Joy, and Resistance, are as multilayered as the Black experience itself and are expressed through a wide range of disciplines and media in this exhibition.

Exhibition Opening
