Opening Celebration - Becoming the Sea: Black Rock Senegal x Harvey B. Gantt Center
Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture at Levine Center for the Arts
As part of the Gantt Golden Year, join us to celebrate the opening of Becoming the Sea: Black Rock Senegal x Harvey B. Gantt Center. Curated by Dexter Wimberly, the exhibition highlights 13 artists who participated in the first two years of the Black Rock residency. Named for the volcanic rocks that blanket the Dakar shoreline, Black Rock is a multidisciplinary artist-in-residence program founded by renowned artist Kehinde Wiley in 2019. The residency brings together international artists to live and work in Dakar. Presenting a wide array of mediums, including painting, photography, video, sculpture, writing, and installation, Becoming The Sea reflects the unique perspectives, techniques, culture, and traditions experienced by the artists during their time at Black Rock.
Curator, Dexter Wimberly, and representatives from the Black Rock Global Arts Foundation will be in attendance. Enjoy light refreshments and participate in this enlightening artistic experience.
