SUN DSCNDNTS Present: Contagious Spirit

SUN DSCNDNTS Present: Contagious Spirit

Oakland-based Black Arts Collective SUN DSCNDNTS presents Contagious Spirit, an interdisciplinary photography exhibition in March 2018 that reframes Black women and girls' innocence. Initially inspired by a recent Georgetown University study that found that Black girls are viewed as “less innocent” when compared to their white peers, the exhibition celebrates Black women's courageous and contagious spirit of resistance in the midst of trauma. The Alternative Exposure grant will support artist fees, exhibition and outreach expenses.
