In fall 2020, Tierney L. Malone began The Sankofa Project at Lawndale Art & Performance Center. Each year, three artists were commissioned to create work examining and responding to the history leading up to our current moment of social unrest and racial reckoning. Beginning with Houston’s communities and stories, this project aims to bring light to events that have been censored or ignored in historical narratives in order to reinforce the racial oppression of Black Americans.
This fall, Lawndale will present SANKOFA 23 : The Sankofa Project Exhibition 2020-2023, a culminating group exhibition curated by Malone featuring all nine artists of The Sankofa Project: Rabéa Ballin, Sheila Pree Bright, Tay Butler, Robert Hodge, Ann Johnson, Tierney Malone, David McGee, Jason Moran, and Lovie Olivia. While some artists will present new works, others revisit past artwork made for The Sankofa Project.”
