The Exhibition
From the MBARI Institute for Contemporary African Art in Washington, D.C., this
exhibition features the fine arts work of 20 African women artists, several of whom have never before been showcased in the United States. Across an array of media, from photography to bronze and clay sculpture to prints and oils, these dynamic artists display unique insights into such issues as gender, politics, customs and migrations.
The 20 artists whose work will be included in the exhibition at UNE Art Gallery include those from Sudan, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Senegal and Zimbabwe, among others.
The Mbari Institute for Contemporary African Art is a non-profit organization incorporated in Washington, DC, in 1995, whose mission is to collect, preserve, identify, document and exhibit work pertaining to the art, craft, and culture of Africa. Since 1995 the Mbari Institute has mounted twelve successful solo and group exhibitions of African artists at venues in Washington DC., Portland, Maine and Winston Salem, North Carolina.This exhibition is supported by Lincoln Financial Group Foundation and the Maine Women's Fund.
Exhibitions and events are free and open to the public.
