Parable 003

About

Inspired by Octavia Butler’s unfinished Parable trilogy, the exhibition is a blueprint for the near future. By inviting artists to use the model of planned cities and communities, we explore how world-building is a method for manifesting Black sovereignty. Artists’ work will incorporate visual, material, and cultural aspects of a new free Black state. At its core, this exhibition translates California’s histories of Black migration, radical participation, and experimental living into a foundation for shaping Black futures.
