Courtesy the artist and Pt.2 Gallery, Oakland Share your support for Collective Arising, your gift will make a difference!Īdrian Octavius Walker, STILL Pushing Through, 2022. The artworks in Collective Arising -which includes textile, sculpture, glass, print, painting, photography, video, and installation-speak to this dual purpose at the core of the formation of artist collectives. In this way, collectives have served both the revolutionary and creative practices of Black, queer, and femme people across the diaspora. Working in community, they share resources, build cooperatively, and create side-by-side in opposition to hyper-individualistic capitalist systems, such as the art market, in which competition is a requirement for participation. MomohĬollective Arising: The Insistence of Black Bay Area Artists features art by contemporary Black artists who have participated in interdisciplinary collectives, including nure, 3.9 Collective, House of Malico, CTRL+SHIFT, and Black Residency. Collectives-groups of like-minded individuals coming together to achieve a common goal-have offered space for Black artists to expand their practice, amplify their voices, and nurture one another. Collective Arising: The Insistence of Black Bay Area ArtistsĬo-curated by Ashara Ekundayo and Lucia Olubunmi R.
