A Group Exhibition

We invite artists of African descent to submit work for Rooted in Time: Africa's Past, Present & Future, a group exhibition exploring the temporal and cultural dimensions of Transatlantic African identity, heritage, and experience. Rather than viewing the past, present, and future as separate, this exhibition considers time as a fluid technology—one that  roots and cycles ancestral memory and legacy into contemporary culture and lived experience.

We are seeking artwork across painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and mixed media that challenge colonial constructs of linear time and fixed identity. Artists whose practices engage the cyclical nature of cultural inheritance, and expand on aesthetic, cultural, spiritual, and political histories of African-descended peoples are especially encouraged to apply. We welcome submissions that reflect on evolving forms of oral history, storytelling traditions, ancestral practices, spiritual systems material culture, and afro-futurist imaginations. 

Rooted in Time: Africa’s Past, Present & Future is a temporal intervention, that asks: How do we carry our past forward? How is culture reshaped in motion? and what futures become possible when we root ourselves fully in who we are?
