Sensorial Africana Superrealities: Five Contemporary Diaspora Artists
Weaving symbolic, poetic, political, and socio-cultural references, Sensorial Africana Superrealities displays visual and material languages reaching locations such as North Carolina, Maryland, Cuba, Nigeria, England, and Washington, D.C. This exhibition interconnects African ancestral paths and realities that historically have emerged in transnational Black Atlantic and Caribbean territories. Employing personal histories, communal experiences, and territorial cartographies, the artists reveal how critical African-based knowledge still shapes today鈥檚 interdisciplinary cultural expressions.
Mapping imagined sensorial crossroads to project their reverse memories and complex histories, the artists engage in intercultural dialogue to express how, converging at Howard University, they continue the legacy of this iconic center of Black culture. Artists included in Sensorial Africana Superrealities are Elka Stevens, Akili Ron Anderson, Reginald Pointer, Raimi Gbadamosi, and Raul Moarquech Ferrera-Balanquet.
