    The exhibition at Bath's American Museum reframes these quilts from domestic craft to a profound, diasporic artistic tradition, challenging institutional art histories.

    Eine Ausstellung in Bath konserviert nicht nur Kunst, sondern transformiert das Quilt als Medium von marginalisierter Handarbeit zu einem kanonischen Träger sozio-politischer und ästhetischer Geschichte.

  35. ART | Exhibition: New Exhibition: Up to Us: Black Dimensions in Art, 1975–Tomorrow

    The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College Announces New Exhibition

    BDA- ART ARchive

    SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY — The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College will present Up to Us: Black Dimensions in Art, 1975–Tomorrow, an exhibition honoring the 50-year legacy of Black Dimensions in Art Inc. (BDA), the Capital Region’s longest-running Black arts collective. The exhibition will be on view from May 31 through November 2, 2025.

    Bringing together archival materials—such as publications, posters, photographs, and ephemera—with artwork by BDA members and artists from the Tang collection, the exhibition highlights those who have participated in previous BDA exhibitions or who engage with broader themes of Black liberation from the late 20th century onward. The exhibition title, Up to Us, is inspired by a Harlem Week slogan from the 1980s: “Much more to do … a better Harlem is up to us.” The phrase captures the spirit of self-determination central to BDA’s mission and connects the group to a broader national movement of grassroots Black arts and cultural organizations.

    A key feature of the exhibition is a new video incorporating excerpts from oral histories with current and former BDA members, recorded through Skidmore’s MDOCS Co-Creation Initiative (2021–2025). Interviewees include D. Colin, Miki Conn (a founding member), Francelise Dawkins, Trenton Graham, Linda Jackson-Chalmers (a founding member, Skidmore Class of 1973, and former Skidmore trustee), Gregory Freelon (a founding member), Jacqueline Lake-Sample, Mitzi Lawrence, Thurmon Myers, Brenda Twiggs, and Stephen J. Tyson.

    Up to Us: Black Dimensions in Art, 1975–Tomorrow is organized by Rebecca McNamara, The Frances Young Tang ’61 Associate Curator, in collaboration with BDA members Marcus Anderson, D. Colin, Miki Conn, Daesha Devón Harris, Jacqueline Lake-Sample, and Stephen J. Tyson. The exhibition is supported by Angela Beallor, Documentarian in Community Co-Creation with the John B. Moore Documentary Collaborative (MDOCS) at Skidmore College. Funding was provided by the Friends of the Tang and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

    Public Programs

    The exhibition is free and open to the public. The Tang Teaching Museum is located on the Skidmore College campus at 815 N. Broadway in Saratoga Springs, New York, and is open Tuesday–Sunday, noon–5 p.m., with extended hours until 9 p.m. on Thursdays. For more information, call 518-580-8080 or visit tang.skidmore.edu.

    Companion Exhibition at the Albany Institute of History & Art

    The 50th anniversary celebration of Black Dimensions in Art continues at the Albany Institute of History & Art with For Liberation and For Life: The Legacy of Black Dimensions in Art, on view from August 23 through December 31, 2025. This presentation marks a return to the Institute, where BDA’s first major exhibition, Black Artists in Historical Perspective I, was shown after its debut at the Schenectady Museum in 1976. The exhibition will feature a range of media, styles, and perspectives from historic, contemporary, and emerging artists, honoring BDA’s legacy while envisioning its future. For more information, visit the Albany Institute’s website.

    The precious soul,
    Undaunted
    -Though across continents dragged-
    Across centuries glides,

    Imbued with spirit,
    Fortified,

    The precious Soul
    Does yet
    Abide

    Oil on Canvas, Charles W White (1918-1979)

    “Art must be an integral part of the struggle. It can’t simply mirror what’s taking place. It must adapt itself to human needs. It must ally itself with the forces of liberation."

  40. Part III - Over the next 3 years, with the help of the Red Cross, Nassy was provided with art supplies, allowing him to create more than 200 paintings + drawings that would depict life in the camps.
    Liberated in 1945, Nassy passed away in 1976

  41. Part I - #JosefNassy was an Afro-Jewish #artist + #Holocausttsurvivor born in 1904 in Surinam. His father was of Jewish descent + his mother Surinamese, of African descent. In 1928 Nassy received work in Europe for Warner Brothers but had to prove he was a US citizen. He pretended to be born in San Francisco prior to the 1899 earthquake, when records had been destroyed, + the ruse worked.

  43. "The art and poetry, conversation, and essays in this volume seek to gather shattered, scattered pieces of Black history and put them back together again."

    I'm luxuriating in the pre-semester ability to slowly read this new book "Praise Songs for Dave the Potter," edited by P. Gabrielle Foreman. Such a wonderful presentation of art and poetry by David Drake, Jonathan Green, and Glenis Redmond. Beautiful and thoughtful memory work.

Allan Rohan Crite (1910-2007), “Et verbum caro factum est, et habitávit in nobis, et vídimus glóriam eius.” Pen and ink on cream illustration board, 1943. 254x216 mm; 10x8 1/2 inches, sold at Swann Auction Galleries in 2021 for $15,000. From the website: “This beautiful drawing by Crite illustrates the Latin verse of John 1:14: "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. And we saw His glory." #arthistory #blackart #africanamericanart

  45. Just ordered my copy of The Annotated Book of American Negro Poetry, freshly published through the Lowcountry Rice Culture Project. Very much looking forward to the collection, especially Jonathan Green's illustrations. Word to publishers - I will buy pretty much any book that includes his artwork.
