Our current exhibition 'The Promised Land', features eleven contemporary photo and image artists working across a diverse range of visual methods, that re-imagine stories of city life and the Great Migration through the decolonization of the lens, Southern rooted influences, movement, family archives and portraiture.

This exhibition was organized and curated by SSCAC Exhibitions Manager Lola Ayisha Ogbara, and features the following artists:  Lawrence Agyei, Anwulika Anigbo, Rose Blouin, Billie Carter-Rankin, Jen Everett, Mandela Hudson, Shabez Jamal, Sulyiman Stokes, Darryl DeAngelo Terrell, Loren Toney, and Derrick Woods-Morrow.

'The Promised Land' exhibiting artists will join SSCAC Exhibitions Manager and Curator Lola Ayisha Ogbara in conversation, to discuss their respective practices, influences, and ways their work responds to varying migration experiences across the Black diaspora. 

Complimentary coffee and cake will be provided during the program
