October 30 - November 27, 2019
“In a rare constellation, the exhibition “Show me your Shelves!” realizes an artistic dialogue between Black artists from Germany and the US. In July 2019 in Detroit, now in Houston, the two-part show brings together eight artists reflecting on existing common structures, experiences, as well as differences between German Afro-diasporic cultures and lifestyles and African American perspectives. The exhibition challenges the question of how libraries can expand on becoming open spaces of encounter and knowledge specifically regarding the connections of African Diasporas.
Beginning on 31st October 2019, Amelia Umuhire (Berlin), Anika Joyce Sadiq (Stuttgart), Regina Agu (Houston) and Tay Butler (Houston) will be presenting their installations, films, and sound pieces in at the African American Library at Gregory School, Houston.
“Show me your Shelves!” is conceived by founders and editors-in-chief of the art magazines Contemporary And (C&) and Contemporary And América Latina (C& AL) Julia Grosse and Yvette Mutumba.”
