The Umbrella Gallery is hosting an exhibition titled "Afrocentric," which showcases visual and mixed media art celebrating the African diaspora. The show focuses on African and Afro-descendant perspectives, exploring themes of heritage, cultural memory, identity, self-definition, migration, resistance, joy, and futurism. It aims to present history as a living presence through echoes of ancestral storytelling.
The exhibition is significant for its immersive approach to centering Black narratives, actively redefining beauty, power, and intellect through an African lens. It creates a space for affirmation and reflection, connecting ancestral roots with contemporary expression and envisioning liberated futures shaped by African consciousness. The show runs through June 6.
