Kindred Voices: Afrofuturism in Art

"Kindred Voices: Afrofuturism in Art" is a juried exhibition showcasing art that captures the brilliance of Black creativity today while reimagining how the world will see us tomorrow. Curated by Dr. Antoinne Duane Jones, a celebrated photographer with over 20 years of experience and founder of Majority Greek Magazine, this exhibition seeks work that transcends time through bold colors, dynamic shapes, and visionary style. The exhibition will run from January 23 through March 1, 2026, with an opening reception on January 23 from 6-8pm.
