Before the Americas Exhibition

Join the UMGC community for the opening reception of Before the Americas, featuring a panel of exhibiting artists moderated by curator Cheryl Edwards. The exhibition includes approximately 40 thought-provoking works by Caribbean, African, Latino, Afro-Latino, and African American artists who are working or have worked in the greater Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Edwards conceived and curated the exhibition with the goal of sharing the cultural riches of the artists’ inspiration: their stories, experiences, and individual backgrounds. Together, these artists explore themes of ancestral memory, migration, invisibility, and interconnectivity.
