Breath of God: A Love Letter to Black Men and Black Women

Cary Saurage Community Arts Center 233 Saint Ferdinand, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802
Breath of God: A Love Letter to Black Men and Black Women, a joint exhibition by photographer Jacquel Curry and multidisciplinary artist Ashli Ognelodh Curry, celebrates Black identity and centers beauty, resilience, and joy. For years, Black men and Black women have long been the keepers of strength and initiators of culture, but oftentimes their labor, love, and light have gone unrecognized or misunderstood. This exhibition, hosted by the Cary Saurage Community Arts Center, implores the audience towards a different gaze: one that sees Black men and Black women not through struggle and trauma, but through reverence and pure joy. Free. Closing reception September 24, 6 pm–9 pm. artsbr.org.
