Songs We Never Forgot

Songs We Never Forgot

February 8th - March 8th

Happening at

Kokopelli Gallery

Songs We Never Forgot proposes that when names were erased and languages were fragmented with geographies disrupted, black people learned to sing their memory into survival.

These songs most times are not audible. Some live in the sway of the body, the cadence of speech, patterns in cloth, rituals repeated without explanation, grief that learned to harmonize and joy that refused extinction

Each artwork will be expressed as a verse in a collective composition, resounding what they tried and failed to silence. Therefore concluding not everything stolen was lost. Some things were carried.
