Call for Artists for "Latitudes in Afro-Latinx Art" |
The Afro-Latinx diaspora spans latitudes. Latitude refers both to a place and a celestial object in relation to the equatorial mark we humans invented. It is an imaginary line around the globe. It occupies both north and south imaginations. In inviting Latitudes, we are inviting artists to submit artworks and practices that engage with the Afro-Latinx expressions in their diversities, expansions, and imaginations. Across the globe and across the skies, under and above the oceans.
The exhibition is a collaboration between Casa Azul of Greensboro and The African American Atelier and will take place in the African American Atelier gallery in the Greensboro Cultural Center in September/October of 2023 in North Carolina.
