Seattle Art Museum Presents FEMME NOIRE

A spokesperson describes the event as follows:

"Femme Noire features the work of women artists from Africa and the African diaspora in an outdoor exhibition that externalizes and celebrates the power of Black women. Installed on lamp poles and at Black-owned businesses and arts organizations throughout the Central District, the project will bring the artists’ works into the community, creating a walking route through the heart of Seattle’s historically Black neighborhood. Using the immediate accessibility the street provides, Femme Noire creates an open public dialogue between the artworks and the community."
