MANIFESTING BELOVED COMMUNITY 2023

GARDENING ANGEL by JAMIE GREENFIELD

Juror Darryl Dwayne Walker said ‘“Manifesting Beloved Community,” invites artists to visualize what it would mean to create or live in a nation/world designed around social & economic justice. Creating works that force us to examine and even look beyond the ills of structural racism. In making the selections for this exhibition I was reminded that art should make you feel something. Those feelings likely fall on a spectrum, which may be defined as positive or negative, happy or sad, at times conflicting, and in some cases maybe just indifferent.’

Juror Darryl Dwayne Walker is the Coordinator of Community Engagement at The Newark Museum of Art and a graduate of HBCU Norfolk State University
