In this new year, we are doing a virtual Black History Month Celebration. The theme is “One Pen, One Page,” inspired by Amanda Gorman. Create art using any Adinkra Symbol and what this symbol represents to you.
Amanda Gorman is the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history, and delivered her original poem, “The Hill We Climb,” at the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris.
No fees are required. Entries will be accepted starting February 8th thru Feb. 22nd. We will get together on Zoom for a live virtual exhibit on Sunday, February 28th at 12:30 pm.
* Adinkra are visual symbols, originally created by the Ashanti. Adinkra are used in fabrics, pottery, logos, and advertising. They are engraved into walls and other architectural features. Fabric Adinkra are often made by woodcut printing or screen printing.
