Art Exhibit: Shades of Black & Pynk: A Celebration of Black Trans+Queer Art, Love, and Writing
The two-day event opens on Sunday, April 30 with art exhibit and panel “PYNK Possibilities: Black Gender Creative + Art for Survival.” This exhibit is a multimedia installation that celebrates the boundless imagination of Black Queer, Trans, and Gender Creative artists. Curated in honor of the release of The Color Pynk: Black Femme Art for Survival by Professor Omise'eke Tinsley (Black Studies), the exhibit features original short film The Siren by Dominican-American filmmaker Helen Peña, collage by scholarartist Mariah Webber (Feminist Studies), and more. This exhibition seeks to spotlight the world-making power of rebellious Black LGBT artists and awaken love, collectivity and solidarity. The exhibit opening is also a party, nail salon, mini runway class, audience-inclusive fashion show, and interactive conversation with the artists as well as Color Pynk authors Omise’eke Tinsley and Candice Lyons.
