She Shall Rise From The Ashes

Is a collaborative exhibition that takes viewers on a journey through the past, present, and future history of Detroit from a woman’s perspective. All four rooms of detroit contemporary’s gallery have been transformed by a pair of female visual & literary artists gracing the space with new narratives on old truths. Together they have created works of art that address generations of women that have and will continue to maintain their strength, resilience, and femininity in the face of the city’s gender, racial, and class disparities. Like the phoenix, she hopes for better things; she will rise from the ashes.

Participating Artists Include:

Desawna “SIS” Buford, Halima Afi Cassells, jessica Care moore, Marsha Music, Maya Wynn Boyd, Melba Joyce Boyd, Sabrina Nelson, & Sudani Shaah
