September 3-October 25, 2024
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 5, 5-7p.m.
The Black Glo-Liath and the Dark of the Sun explores the interplay of Darkness and light, Identity, Grief and Defiance. Each piece resonates with a narrative of resilience and transformation, reflecting the experiences of the oppressed. Through deep introspection and material exploration, Moore’s body of work elevates the Black Imagination and the resistance of the unseen.
This project is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
