NOW - OCT 2 | Blood Memories: Celestial Reflections Of Our Ancestors Exhibition

For Black Americans, Generational memory is the great miracle of Pan Africanism. While many Black Americans may never know their ancestors’ names and geographic origins, many have received a wealth of cultural memory passed down for generations. A wide array of distinct African traditions have driven the Black community forward in the face of decades of systematic oppression in America. This magic isn’t a mistake or a happy coincidence. The passing down and celebration of African memory is our birthright. Blood Memories: Celestial Reflections of Our Ancestors celebrates the wonder of African beauty, and survival, in America.

Blood Memories runs from August 13, 2021, to October 2, 2021, in the Anacostia Arts Center at 1231 Good Hope Road SE, Washington DC 20020.

Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM – 5 PM.
