Exhibiting artists include: Malachi Arthur, Karyn Clark, Mia S. Felder, Mo Harper-Desir, Jamal Ibrahim, Mykaela “Mickey” Montgomery, Lydia Morris, Kassandra Rice, and Elila Veronikue.
This exhibition is made possible through a collaboration with Black Humboldt, a community organization built for and by Black Humboldt residents. The My Black Is… exhibition centralizes Black and Brown bodies in spaces they are regularly marginalized from, or dominated by non-POC bodies and cultures. Representation matters for those yearning and dreaming of a life, where they do not see people like themselves reflected back to them. Black Humboldt works to normalize Black and Brown arts, art forms, and community members within all art spaces.
The Reese Bullen Gallery can be found on the Cal Poly Humboldt campus in the Art Building, near the corner of Laurel Drive and B St. in Arcata. The gallery is open Wednesday/Thursday 12-6 p.m.; Friday 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Saturday 11 a.m.-2 p.m. It is closed Sunday-Tuesday. It is also open via appointment, please contact the Gallery Director at rbg@humboldt.edu, or call 707-826-3629. Admission is free.
More information on this exhibition is available at artfilm.humboldt.edu/galleries along with a forthcoming virtual tour of the exhibition. More information on Black Humboldt and how to support their efforts at blackhumboldt.com.
