‘Collective Arising: The Insistence of Black Bay Area Artists’

Museum of Sonoma County, Santa Rosa
June 25–Nov. 27
Details here

Collectives have long been a way for artists—especially those disregarded or undervalued by dominant art world systems—to join forces, amplify their voices and organize around common goals. Collective Arising, curated by Ashara Ekundayo and Lucia Olubunmi R. Momoh, surveys contemporary Black artists who have drawn strength from interdisciplinary collectives. Included in the show are members of nure, 3.9 Collective, House of Malico, CTRL+SHFT, and Black [Space] Residency, representing a wide spectrum of Bay Area artistic practices—and an exciting testament to homegrown talent.
