“‘9,’ a Civic TV collaboratively curated nomadic exhibition in conjunction with the 2020 FotoFest Biennial, showcases the overlapping Cosmologies illustrated by the diverse offerings of nine Houston-based artists presenting the polylithic nature of Houston’s African diaspora. In this exhibition Blackness and Otherness refuse the notion of a simplified or schematized existence.

“Due to the COVID-19 health crisis all public events and viewing opportunities have had to be canceled; thus, in order to engage the public as meaningfully as possible with the exhibition and its artists we have created multiple Virtual Engagement Tools such as Photo & Video Based Tours, a 3D Walkthrough App, and various other tools including resources for educators teaching remotely (educators may schedule free guided virtual tours of the exhibition for their classes via Zoom based meetings). Please visit www.9exhibition.com to learn more.
