Embracing Blackness: Diasporic Realities
May 10 – July 27 | Crouch, Bruner, & Orgain Galleries

The Crafting Blackness series of exhibitions began with the 100-year history of black craft artists in Tennessee, 1920-2022, which is a research project by BIPOC art historian and curator Karlota Contreras-Koterbay. The exhibition covers a century of craftmaking history by African Americans in the state of Tennessee. Each exhibition in Tennessee is curated to highlight the artisans of that area within the statewide show.
