Twitter Website Join us tonight for the opening reception of our newest exhibition 'i found god in myself: a celebration of Dr. Ntozake Shange's for colored girls, curated by Peter "Souleo" Wright. The conceptual exhibit celebrates the genre-bending, award-winning choreopoem/play, for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf, which debuted on Broadway in 1976.   Each work honors an individual poem and underscores their enduring significance in highlighting issues impacting the lives of women of color such as sexuality, race, sisterhood, violence and self-love depicted in and inspired by former University of Houston professor Ntozake Shange's work.   "This exhibition underscores the conversation Dr. Shange started, extending the legacy and impact of her work into the visual arts medium," explains Souleo, curator of i found god in myself. "The issues surrounding love, sexuality, gender equality, racial identity, and, ultimately, self-love explored by her work remain relevant today," said Souleo.   The exhibition will also include archival material that highlights the creation and evolution of the original text from its 1974 California debut to its Broadway run from the Barnard Archives and Special Collections at Barnard College. This event is FREE and open to the public. Join us tonight at 6:30pm for a first look at this powerful exhibition.
