"First launched at Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture in February 2024, this multi-media exhibition serves as a stage for public debate and discussion on race, reparations, and the right paths to making new and freer worlds. The show features art by sculptor Darrell Ann Gane-McCalla, painter Destiny Palmer, fiber artist Marla McLeod, and quilter Kimberly Love Radcliffe.
Curated by Wellesley College’s postdoctoral fellow with AntiCarceral Co-Laboratory, K. Melchor Quick Hall; a transnational, Black, feminist scholar and activist whose poetry, photography, and art curation work to expand public dialogues about the nature of freedom (especially Black women’s).
What is required for Black women to be free? How must a society built on the devaluation of Black humanity remake itself as a place of shared humanity and liberation?
The exhibition will travel through Juneteenth 2026, just shy of the country’s semi-quincentennial (250th) anniversary celebration."
