This juried, multi-media exhibition seeks to
bring to public attention the scope and influence
of the African Diaspora on all facets of Bay Area
life and culture using the imagery of art
to “break the ice” in order to stimulate a
dialogue between artists and viewers. Reflecting
the global reach of the African Diaspora, in the
Bay Area a cross-cultural art community has
emerged that extents beyond nationalism and
ethnicity to, instead, focus on ideology and
global impact in order to create works of art
that address contemporary issues of the Diaspora:
politics, war, poverty, famine, disease, AIDS,
religious cosmology, beauty.
