belonging to place: The Creative Community & Artistic Legacy of bell hooks

The work in this exhibition documents the complicated process of coming to see and belong to a place often exploited and marginalized. Together, the artists elevate and contribute to familial and collective histories that find sanctuary in conversation with land, our own imaginative processes, and the interwoven communities we are a part of. Though hooks wrote extensively about art and visual culture, as well as her creative and collecting practices, her impact in this realm rarely receives the credit it is due. When the established art world rejected hooks’s criticism, she created a new kind of space that defies typical museum and gallery practices, proving that more is possible.

belonging to place: The Creative Community & Artistic Legacy of bell hooks is on display in Gallery A, and is accessible to the public during regular hours of operation. Admission is free.
