Join us for a conversation with the artists as Meryl leads you around the exhibition. Artists include filmmaker Fred Barrett, Emerging photographer Talia Hodge and Curator and Black Artists Guild Co-Founder Dara Harper.
Akron Soul Train and the Black Artists Guild teamed up to produce an exhibition titled “Reshaping the Narrative”. The “Reshaping the Narrative” exhibition shows positive stories of African Americans to promote equity, empathy and empowerment for all. The exhibition includes a 30-minute film telling the stories of some of Akron’s black families who migrated here, along with large photographs and a curation of family heirlooms.
Communicating these stories across platforms will aid in reshaping the narrative of Akron’s African Americans and how they migrated north for a better life, for their survival, and how replanting their roots helped establish family legacies.
