AfriKin Art: The Gaze Africana features a distinctive line-up of international Black artists and creatives, whose works represent African Excellence. Capturing “the gaze” connects us to another world – allowing us to look beyond – steadily and intently, in admiration, surprise or thought.
The Gaze Africana explores ideologies connected to African art. This deployment of contemporary Africana fine art in the NoMi district (North Miami) presents a cultural panorama, highlighting the diverse and vibrant traditions of African diasporic art and culture.
Ancillary programs surrounding The Gaze Africana Black History Month activation includes contemporary dance, jazz and negro spiritual music performances, panel discussions, spoken word, business networking opportunities including a sponsored open bar.
Located at the Scott Galvin Community Center, 1600 NE 126th Street, North Miami, FL 33181, this exhibit speaks of the strength and resilience of the Black community. As we celebrate Black History Month, we invite you to join us in honoring the contributions and achievements of talented individuals, and to be inspired by their vision of a more just and equitable world.
The story of Black History Month begins in 1915. In addition to celebrations of achievement and acknowledgment of the African diaspora, there is also recognition of the sacrifice and core features of United States history experienced by people of African descent. AfriKin Art: The Gaze Africana presents a conceptual challenge as an opportunity for artists, scholars and supporters to dismantle systems of oppression and promote agency and representation for marginalized communities. The Gaze Africana signals what is next for civic and community engagement.
