Opening Celebration - American Gurl
Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture at Levine Center for the Arts
As part of the Gantt Golden Year, join us to celebrate the opening of American Gurl. American Gurl is an ongoing curatorial project featuring work that explores all shades of American dreaming.
Co-curators Zehra Zehra and Kilo Kish will be at the opening reception to discuss the creation, development, significance, and evolution of this project. View eight films by intergenerational artists who infuse curiosity around the perspectives and nuances within the Black feminine experience and our relationships with beauty, success, freedom, and power in America.
American Gurl is presented in collaboration with Womxn in Windows, a platform whose mission is to share the perspectives of women of color through video, art, film, and performance.
