The Bra Off Series will be apart of the, Minding My Business (i said what i said) Exhibition : May 22-September 12, 2021 at the August Wilson African American Cultural Center (AWAACC).
Minding My Business (i said what i said) features seven women of color exploring self-authorship as a means to liberated futures. What does emancipation look like for many women within a contemporary mindset? What is the true power of unlearning the societal and intergenerational patterns of self-sacrifice and leaning into self-love instead? Each work defines freedom in its own truth by acts of service, community, ritual and space making through photography, video and works on paper.
