Black Women’s Blueprint Curates Critical New Exhibit

Framing these narratives within chronicles and journeys of many peoples of the world, the exhibit is a denunciation of imperialist efforts to stifle the movement of humans seeking safe, nourishing spaces in the aftermath of dispossession, colonization, and oppression.

As the current administration looks to create more physical boundaries between nation-states and communities, Black Women’s Blueprint and the Museum of Women’s Resistance (MoWRe) employ the gift of artistry and curation as a call to action to acknowledge the many moments in U.S. history when racism, Manifest Destiny, white supremacy and imperialism were the modus operandi of this country; when forced migration desecrated whole communities of indigenous people; when the Great Migration was the only safe option for Black women and men out of the racial caste system of Jim Crow; when political and economic refugees from our southern borders sought asylum in the so-called “land of liberty.”

Through this exhibit, we call upon people of conscious to pay attention to what the current administration is doing and push back against the indignities being waged on our sisters around the world who are subject to the borders drawn across their communities, homes, and bodies.

Let this exhibit be a catalyst to your activism against human rights violations here and abroad.

As survivors of violence, our bodies are constantly on the line as we fiercely pursue truth and healing even in the face of increasingly racist and sexist repression and backlash. We also already know that financial resources to counter this violence are extremely limited and constrained, but our commitment to justice endures. We will not back down and we will not be silent. Stand with us.
