I Am . . . Contemporary Women Artists of Africa
June 20, 2019 through July 5, 2020
Taking its name from a 1970’s feminist anthem, I Am… Contemporary Women Artists of Africa draws upon a selection of artworks by women artists from the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art’s permanent collection to reveal a more contemporary feminism that recognizes the contributions of women to the most pressing issues of their times. With experimental and sophisticated use of diverse media, the 27 featured artists offer insightful and visually stunning approaches to matters of community, faith, the environment, politics, colonial encounters, racism, identity, and more.

EXCELLENT PLAY
FREIGHT: The Five Incarnations of Abel Green
An excellent one man play by Howard L. Craft which I would highly recommend. This play is by far one of the best I have ever seen. Totally engaging with a narrative that is historical and contemporary. It blends and melts into one continuous train of mental thought. Positive, reflective, thought-provoking he presents various situations which are explained with a dramatic and accurate flair.

Great African American Exhibit
Conversations
November 9, 2014 to January 24, 2016 at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art.
Conversations: African and African American Artworks in Dialogue is a major part of the museum’s 50th anniversary, celebrating its unique history and contributions toward furthering meaningful dialogue between Africa and the African diaspora. By far one of the current best exhibits to visit.
