Join the Reginald F. Lewis Museum celebrating Black women, their imagery and experiences through the visionary artistic lens of  the women exhibition artists from Afro-Futurist Manifesto: Blackness Reimagined (March 2, 2023 – September 5, 2023). During this art panel discussion, artists will explore the future of Black women, how they envision Black women bodies, mothering and confronting stereotype imagery of Black young women.  This panel conversation features artists Tawny Chatmon, Monica Ikegwu and Delita Martin. This panel is moderated by Myrtis Bedolla of Gallerie Myrtis who curated “Afro-Futurist Manifesto” for the 2022 Venice Biennale.  “Afro-Futurist Manifesto” brings together a stellar assemblage of African-American Artists who construct a future forged in transatlantic links and Afrofuturism’s ideology to expand the notion of Blackness at the intersection of technology and liberation.
