No One Teaches Us How to Be Daughters explores the intimate relationships between Black women through the artist’s disrupted matrilineal archive, Black literature, faith, docu-poetics, and Afrofuturist imaginings. It complicates the question, “Where do Black girls go when they go missing?” while considering the epidemic of missing Black girls/women and the metaphysical locations Black women find themselves in between girlhood and womanhood. This exhibition is a celebration of Black cultural and familial inheritance, a place of mourning, and an invitation to search for yourself.
This show is the culminating exhibition of poet Ajanaé Dawkins, Urban Arts Space’s Community Artist-in-Residence.
Opening Reception: Thursday, July 11, 6–8 PM, Urban Arts Space
