Listen, Look: A Reconciliatory Journey Through Black Grief and Joy

  • The Griot Museum 2505 Saint Louis Avenue St. Louis, MO, 63106 United States (map)

“Listen, Look" is a multimedia exhibit featuring local, Black St. Louis artists as they navigate the complexities of grief and joy.

Listen, Look: A Reconciliatory Journey Through Black Grief and Joy” is a multimedia exhibit that centers the art praxes of Black St. Louis artists as they grapple with the complex gravities of grief and joy in their lives. The artists will be creating within, and speaking from, this emotion-ridden duality; it is our obligation to listen, to look, and to ask questions of ourselves as we engage what they say. Within that self-interrogation lies the potential for productive dialogue and action. The exhibit, then, also seeks to tap into the combined power of listening and looking with the intention to transform audience members from passive onlookers into active witnesses.
