What We Carry Forward is a one-night immersive exhibition exploring memory, lineage, and identity through the work of Black artists. 

Our legacy is not static. It lives in the stories we tell, the traditions we carry, and the histories we refuse to let fade.

This curated evening features:

• A live artist talk

• A montage of archival Black historical moments

• Contemporary works reflecting personal and collective memory

• An intimate gallery atmosphere designed for conversation and reflection

End Black History Month with us through a night of rooted in remembrance, expression, and cultural continuity.
