Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum Presents: She Speaks – Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory

Throughout history, Black women have been the architects of resistance, the keepers of resilience, and the visionaries of transformation. She Speaks is a groundbreaking exhibition that amplifies their voices through the powerful lens of contemporary art. Featuring works by Black women artists, this collection documents untold histories, reclaims stolen narratives, and boldly reimagines the future.

From intimate portraits to sweeping installations, each piece challenges dominant stories, offering new perspectives on struggle, triumph, and legacy.

Join us for a day of inspiration, dialogue, and celebration:

• Curated Tours – Explore the exhibition with guided insights into its themes and creators.
• Live Music & Performances – Experience the rhythm of resistance and joy.
• Community Conversations – Engage in meaningful dialogue about art, history, and liberation.

She Speaks is more than an exhibition—it is a declaration. A reminder that Black women have always spoken, always created, always led. Now, it’s time to listen.

This event is free and open to the public.
