Exhibition Format

This is a physical AND a 3D virtual gallery, and international show, making it accessible to locals and artists from all countries, engendering cross-cultural appreciation, and facilitating international friendship. We want a truly global representation of artistic voices and perspectives, transcending geographical and racial boundaries. Artists may choose to show only in the Virtual Gallery if they prefer not to ship or deliver the selected artwork.

 

The exhibition's theme, "We The People" presents art's value in its expression and communication. What does "We the People" mean? How do the six purposes of the United States Constitution, found in the Preamble, relate to the African Diaspora across the globe - across history? We encourage diversity in art and offer diverse cross-cultural perspectives and artistic traditions.

​​

Exhibition Goals

Through this diverse collection of artworks we aim to:

• Foster dialogue about resilience, hope, and the human capacity to find comraderie.

• Provide a platform for cross-cultural artists to share their unique perspectives on Black History and the U.S. Constitution's purposes.

• Create an immersive physical and digital experience that encourages artists, viewers, and visitors to reflect on their unique ideas and encounters with the idea of "We The People".

• Build a sense of global community and shared experience among all the people.
