"We believe that art plays a vital role in how communities process grief, remember their histories and imagine new futures. Ode to ’Dena honors the resilience of Altadena’s Black community through the voices of artists who have long shaped the cultural fabric of Los Angeles," shared CAAM director Cameron Shaw. "In the wake of devastating loss, this exhibition is both a tribute and a call to continue preserving and amplifying Black creative legacies.”
Step out this weekend and visit these art exhibitions across the nation that will expand your mind and fill your soul.
A solo exhibition by artist Stan Squirewell at Claire Oliver Gallery presents hallmarks of domesticity and comfort in Black homes and focuses on the reclamation of identity from historical anonymity. The exhibition forges intimacy and proximity with the past that lives alongside us in the present through everyday traditions. It will be on display through May 24.
