SUMMARY:She Speaks: Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory
DESCRIPTION:The Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum proudly announces its newest exhibition\, She Speaks: Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory–a visionary presentation that examines the 250-year history of the United States of America through a Black Feminist lens. This exhibition brings together a powerful constellation of contemporary Maryland-based and internationally recognized Black women artists whose deeply personal and politically charged works bear witness to the past\, illuminate its impact on the present\, and conjure Afrofuturist visions. \nThrough a diverse range of media—including collage\, painting\, print\, photography\, textile\, installation\, and time-based media—She Speaks acknowledges Black women as active participants in the making of this country rather than passive bystanders\, highlighting artists who operate as historians\, archivists\, and scholars to tell their stories. Presented alongside rarely seen archival materials and family heirlooms\, the exhibition highlights the pivotal role Black women have played in shaping and preserving this nation since the Revolutionary era\, while envisioning liberated futures through cosmic speculation. \nFeatured artists include Elizabeth Catlett\, Alanna Fields\, Dr. Joan M. E. Gaither\, Charlyn Griffith-Oro\, Khaleelah I. L. Harris\, Martha Jackson Jarvis\, Fabiola Jean-Louis\, Jeannine Kayembe-Oro\, Zsudayka Nzinga\, Ada Pinkston\, Beverly Price\, Faith Ringgold\, Noreen Smith\, Darlene R. Taylor\, Jessica Valoris\, Savannah G. M. Wood\, and Alisha B. Wormsley. \nAs the nation collectively commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence through coordinated national\, Maryland 250\, and Annapolis 250 initiatives\, this exhibition enters the conversation by expanding how American history is remembered and told. By retracing and reinterpreting these histories through the voices of Black women\, the exhibition challenges audiences to consider whose stories have been preserved\, and whose have yet to be fully recognized. \nShe Speaks is curated by Martina Dodd\, BDTM Curator of Collections and Exhibitions\, with curatorial support from Leslie Rose\, Exhibit Manager. Lending institutions include Academy Art Museum\, Galerie Myrtis\, Howard University Gallery of Art\, Washington\, D.C.\, James E. Lewis Museum of Art\, and Reginald F. Lewis Museum. \nShe Speaks will open to the public with an Opening Reception and Black History Month celebration on Saturday\, February 7\, 2026. The exhibition will remain on view through January 16\, 2027\, with interpretive programming offered throughout the year to further engage with the exhibition’s themes of history\, memory\, resistance\, and Black women’s enduring contributions to the nation’s cultural and civic life.

SUMMARY:Abjection and Alienation: Video Works by Martha Rosler and Pipilotti Rist
DESCRIPTION:A visceral comparison of two influential works of video art: Blutclip (1993) by Swiss visual artist Pipilotti Rist and Vital Statistics of a Citizen\, Simply Obtained (1977) by American conceptual artist Martha Rosler. \nThis exhibition invites you to compare these two works; to explore how each show the female body as transmogrified by society into a thing both abject and alien. Of equal importance\, we invite you to interrogate the different ways human beings are systematically controlled and dehumanized—not only women\, but also ‘foreigners’ and ‘citizens’. These works dare to ask how a person can feel both alien and native at the same time\, bound or unbound\, home or not-at-home. They challenge the societal forces that create this rending state of being. \nThematic questions we encourage you to consider while viewing these works include: Why do we otherize people? How can an objectified person reclaim feeling human? How can I be whole again? \nThis exhibition is sponsored by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt. \nHOURS AND ADMISSION: Thursday\, Saturday\, and Sunday\, 10am-6pm; Friday\, 2-7:30pm. Admission is Free. \nACCESSIBILITY AND PARKING: The museum is wheelchair accessible. Free handicap and other parking available in the Edensword Parking Lot (off St. John’s Street between College Avenue and Calvert Street–turn at the yellow house).

SUMMARY:AACC Cade Art Gallery Exhibit "Green"
DESCRIPTION:Green \nAACC’s 2026 National Juried Art Exhibition \n  \nDATES: April 28 — July 14\, 2026  \n  \nOPENING RECEPTION: April 29\, 5 — 7 pm with juror remarks at 6 pm. \n  \n“Nature’s first green is gold.” — Robert Frost \n“It’s not easy being green.” — Kermit the Frog \n\nJoin us for Cade Art Gallery’s 2026 National Juried Art Exhibition\, Green\, juried by New York-based art historian and curator Roberto C. Ferrari. Featuring a range of artworks in painting\, sculpture\, ceramics\, textiles\, printmaking\, photography\, and video\, the exhibition asks us to consider how this hue and its saturation and values appeal to the senses\, and how Green can address issues ranging from nature and health to politics and religion. Green can also be represented in its most abstract form\, and the absence of Green can be as important as its presence. \n\nOak leaves waving from the limbs of a tree\, grass underfoot\, pine needles glistening with dew. Green is nature\, the flora that grows from the earth\, nourished by sunlight and fed by rain. Parsley\, sage\, thyme. Green is an herbaceous taste that tingles the tongue with savor. A combination of blue and yellow\, a complement of red. Green is a secondary hue that has permeated the history of painting: Mrs. Arnolfini’s enveloping gown; the forests of Poussin and the waterlilies of Monet; Matisse’s stripe of a shadow and Kelly’s purist field of color; Van Gogh’s anxious landscapes and Salman Toor’s queer acidic spaces. Camouflage: protection or aggression? Verdigris: decay or patination? Phlegm\, mold\, corrosion. Green is organic and sickly\, a sign of the need for a cure. Patriotism\, eco-nationalism\, spirituality. Green is a symbol in the hearts and minds of the People. Celadon\, emerald\, moss. Green is style and sophistication. \nARTISTS ON VIEW IN GREEN: \nJoshua Able-Carter\, Abol Bahadori\, Lisa Battle\, Graig Bracey\, Patricia Buck\, Keith Buswell\, Eva Carson\, Gerard Dalbon\, Ben Dimock\, Janessa Douds\, Ruth Douzinas\, Carol Foerster\, Robert Forte\, Thomas Gisriel\,  Kristine Goldenberg\, Ryan Graham\, Yen Ha\, Carlos Hidalgo\, Alexis Irby\, Sumin Joo\, Moritz Kellerman\, Clover Kemp\, Stacy Leeman\, Joan Lesikin\, Jaden La Rocque\, Xi Liu\, Daniele Lorio\, Susan MacDonald\, Beau McCall\, Chayel Moses\, Nolan Noble\, Ali Osborn\, Vince Quevedo\, Kylie Robinson\, Eleazar Sanchez\, Dandora Sillah\, Gloria Solomon\, Ann Stoddard\, Susanne Tierney\, Kathleen Thompson\, Barbara Wallace\, Scrap Wrenn. \n  \nABOUT THE JUROR: \nRoberto C. Ferrari is the Curator of Art Properties at Columbia University. He holds a Ph.D. in art history from the Graduate Center\, City University of New York\, and has worked at such prominent institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He is the guest curator\, with Sophie Lynford\, of the first US exhibition on the queer Jewish artist Simeon Solomon (1840–1905)\, scheduled to open at the Delaware Art Museum in 2027. \nJoin us for an opening reception and juror remarks on Wednesday\, April 29\, 5 – 7 pm.  \n  \nIMAGE IDENTIFICATIONS: \nVincent Quevedo\nNimble\n2025\nQuilt \n  \nEleazar Sanchez\nConverging Realities II\n2025\nAcrylic\, gold leaf\, 8ply board \n  \nDandora Sillah\nRooted Relays\n2024\nOil and acrylic \n  \nScrap Wrenn\nOld Kings Wonder\n2022\nAcrylic medium and paper original photographs on panel \n  \nVISIT THE GALLERY:  \nThrough June 11: Monday – Thursday\, 8:30 – 4:30 pm. \nSummer hours\, June 16 – July 14: Tuesday – Thursday\, 8:30 – 4:30 pm. \n  \nABOUT THE CADE ART GALLERY: \nThe Cade Center for Fine Arts Gallery is on Anne Arundel Community College’s Arnold campus at 101 College Parkway.  Located on the main floor of the Cade building on West Campus\, the Cade Art Gallery at AACC features five exhibitions a year.
