Letters of Love & Liberation: From Black Women, to Black Women

“Letters of Love & Liberation: From Black Women, To Black Women” is a co-created exhibit and digital zine honoring the wisdom, creativity, and resilience of Black women. Born out of a community-based healing space, this project invites contributors and viewers alike to reflect on what it means to rest, resist, heal, and belong. Through written reflections, visual art, photography, and affirmations, the exhibit offers a tapestry of insight and inspiration that affirms Black womanhood in all its complexity.
