Rootwork Gallery showcases artistic expression that has healing, reconciliation, or the investigation of folk, street and indigenous cultures at its core.
Black women have a several lifetime’s legacy of holding space for others, even while their own spaces are encroached upon.
This show is a call for reciprocity. Rootwork Gallery. 645 W. 18th Street. Friday. March 16. 6:30-10:30 pm. Free.
