To observe Blacks’ contributions and also America’s 250th anniversary, Creative Philadelphia’s Art In City Hall program is hosting Counter Narratives – Resistance and Resilience. The show has been organized by the Sankofa Artisans Guild (SAG), a group of multimedia fiber artists of African descent. Featured are 24 artists with works that highlight the resilience of African-American culture. They include Philadelphia’s Black founding ancestors and activists.
The exhibit covers well-known abolitionists like Harriet Tubman and William Still; it honors local figures such as Still’s daughter, Caroline, and the formerly enslaved abolitionist Cyrus Bustill, whose family includes generations of community contributors and professionals.
