Celebrate the new Black Lives, Black History, Black Joy & Black Futures exhibition with us! Meet and mingle with the artists, and participate in an engaging activity for a chance to win one of five 6-month MoCADA memberships!

Black Lives, Black History, Black Joy, and Black Futures is more than a photographic group exhibition, serving as a living testament to the Black community in and around Brooklyn. Here, we witness the making of belonging–cultures preserved in every gesture, every shared glance, as they carve out a future that glows with possibility. With these images, the everyday becomes sacred, the mundane transforms into a quilt of lived Black experiences, woven tightly into the fabric of this borough. 

The Fort Greene Park Conservancy organized this exhibition in partnership with MoCADA, Photoville, The Lay Out, and Weeksville Heritage Center. This exhibition is presented as a part of NYC Parks' Art in the Parks program. Supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
