NSU Horizons Spring 2013

BRATES A DECADE OF ART The African Presence exhibitions have showcased a decade of African American culture through different mediums of art. Previous exhibitions included a focus on Caribbean and African artists, the Florida Highwaymen movement, works depicting black music genres that influenced rock- and-roll music, and a photo documentary of Martin Luther King’s historic 1963 March on Washington. The 2012 exhibition featured paintings and sculptures by international artists of African descent showing the rela- tionship between memory, history, and art. The African Presence Art Exhibition kicked off NSU’s annual celebration of Black History Month.
