Kibibi Ajanku welcomes The Black Art Today Foundation to the Douglass-Myers Museum's Bearman Gallery as Guest Curators for Resilience Unveiled

---

Welcome to "Resilience Unveiled," an art exhibit that explores the profound connections between Frederick Douglass, Isaac Myers, and the principle of Kujichagulia. Through a captivating visual narrative, this exhibition seeks to shed light on the extraordinary lives and enduring legacies of these remarkable individuals, while celebrating the power of self-determination and collective liberation.

Through the visual language of art, this exhibition aims to forge meaningful connections between Frederick Douglass and Isaac Myers, two extraordinary individuals. It invites viewers to reflect on the resilience, determination, and unyielding spirit that enabled Douglass and Myers to overcome insurmountable challenges and make lasting contributions to the struggle for freedom and justice.

By intertwining their narratives with the principle of Kujichagulia, we seek to illuminate the universal aspirations for self-determination, both on an individual and collective level. Through the diverse artistic expressions displayed here, we hope to inspire a deeper understanding of the power of resilience, unity, and the pursuit of liberation.

"Resilience Unveiled" invites you to embark on a journey of exploration, celebration, and reflection. As you engage with the artworks presented, may you be inspired to embrace your own agency, honor the legacy of Frederick Douglass and Isaac Myers, and reaffirm the timeless principle of Kujichagulia in your own life and community. 

Join us as we celebrate the interplay of history, art, and the indomitable human spirit in forging a future that embraces freedom, justice, and self-determination for all.
