About the event
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
Can a people build humanity together, if the world refuses to see them as fully human? Can you truly know who you are without knowing where you come from?
This is not an abstract idea for the black man who has felt the weight of a world that sometimes looks at and sees a category before it sees a person. However, he has also felt the extraordinary warmth of communities… African, diasporic, mixed, messy, beautiful and all that refuse to let him disappear into that category. Communities that say: we see you, we know you, you are not alone in this.
That is Ubuntu. Not a philosophy you read about, but a way of being that you feel in your chest.
I Am Because We Are is an invitation to remember that.
