Make plans to visit the Crowning Glory exhibition at Tennessee State University’s Hiram Van Gordon Gallery, featuring works by six talented women artists of the African diaspora: Jeannette Ehlers, Elise Kendrick, Jasmine Moseley, Elisheba Israel Mrozik, Althea Murphy-Price, and Tanekeya Word. Co-curated by Cynthia Gadsden, PhD, Art Historian, and Courtney Adair Johnson, Gallery Director at Tennessee State University, this exhibition is supported by EADJ/ Dr. María Magdalena Campos-Pons.

Crowning Glory is a celebration of black hair and its significance in black culture. As artist Elisheba Israel Mrozik aptly puts it, the black woman is "the mother of humanity - that from which we all came." This exhibition explores the powerful and playful expressions of black hair, highlighting the unique beauty and individuality of black women's hair styles - be it virgin, pressed, permed, shaved, dyed, braided, loced, or bejeweled hair.

This exhibition is on view from Monday, February 20, through Thursday, March 30, with a reception on Thursday, March 23 from 5-7pm. Come witness the stunning works of art that celebrate black women's crowning glory!

This is an EADJ event.
