Current Projects

2019 Delaware Division of the Arts Fellows Shannon Woodloe (Emerging Artist: Visual Arts—Photography) and Chet'la Sebree (Established Artist: Literature—Poetry) will present a collaborative exhibition (401) that explores the legacy of slavery’s effect on black women and their sexuality.

Through Woodloe's photography inspired by Sebree's poetry collection Mistress, the exhibition will meditate on an observation made by historian and lawyer Annette Gordon-Reed: "The portrayal of black female sexuality as inherently degraded is a product of slavery and white supremacy, and it lives on as one of slavery’s chief legacies and as one of white supremacy’s continuing projects."

401 opens February 7, 2020 @ Chris White Gallery with an opening reception 5p-9p; and poetry reading at 6:30p.

This project is supported, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on DelawareScene.com.
