    - Beacons, Griots and the Journey to Freedom -

        In a time when truth must rise above silence, the groundbreaking exhibit "Beacons, Griots and the Journey to Freedom," curated by Black Art in America and hosted at the The Woodson African American Museum of Florida, convenes an extraordinary group of artists—Jamaal Barber, Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi, Phyllis Stephens, Curlee Holton, Stefanie Jackson, Gwendolyn Aqui-Brooks, Mel Edwards, Steve Prince, Daphne Arthur, Najee Dorsey, and David Wilson. 

         This exhibition deepens our discourse on resilience, memory, and liberation, with each artist offering a distinctive perspective that weaves narratives of struggle and transformation with the power of storytelling and creative imagination. Their works transcend mere artistic expression, emerging as cultural beacons that guide us to remember the vital chapters of American history too often overlooked or erased.
