WORLDS WITHIN AND WITHOUT: AN EXHIBITION OF CONTEMPORARY BLACK ART

September 17 - December 7, 2024

The Lisanby Museum and the Furious Flower Poetry Center present artwork from the Art Bridges Foundation in an exhibition celebrating the work of contemporary Black artists. This collaborative exhibition is designed to complement the 2024 Furious Flower Conference, held at its traditional home at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia on September 18-21, 2024. The decennial event is intergenerational, international, and intentional in its focus on the expansiveness of the Black poetic tradition. As the nation's first academic center for Black poetry, Furious Flower has facilitated programming on the local, regional, and national levels. 

Worlds Within and Without invites visitors and conference attendees alike to discover artistic responses to unique narratives as well as the universal truths that unite humanity.
