SUMMARY:(re)Framing Protest (Now): Design + Hope
DESCRIPTION:(re)Framing Protest (NOW) Design + Hope expands on the powerful 2022 show with new programming and a beautifully produced printed catalog. Developed in partnership with Richmond Free Press photojournalists Regina H. Boone and Sandra Sellars\, the exhibition shows how creative expression and design fueled the work of activists\, artists\, and organizers who mobilized during the summer of 2020 to collectively support and amplify the Black Lives Matter movement. Graffiti\, graphic design\, and spontaneous public art became both tools of resistance and acts of reflection—capturing the pain of a city while offering hope and healing. \nThe (re)Framing Protest (NOW): Design + Hope catalog\, designed by April Coleman\, Vice President of Production at the Richmond Free Press\, features expanded text from the original exhibition by writer and creative strategist Nichole Christian\, deepening the exhibition’s impact\, continued relevance\, and narrative. \n  \n

Ross Browne · Unicia R. Buster · Christian Chambers · SillyGenius · Michelle Hicks · Kelly Johnson · Jadea Knight · Aminah McKenzie · Amuri Morris · Curtis Newkirk Jr. · Paige Perkins · Danny Robinson · Dallas Roquemore · Cameron Weston \nThe shows open with a free Juneteenth community celebration on June 19 at 6pm\, featuring a live DJ\, book signing for (re)Framing Protest (NOW): Design + Hope\, and pop-up print shop featuring work by Echoes of Us artists.

SUMMARY:Story Circles and the Unveiling of "Umama" - POSTPONED; NEW DATE TBC
DESCRIPTION:Purchase Tickets Here \n  \nTHIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO HIGH TEMPERATURES – PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR A NEW DATE SHORTLY. \nVisit The Branch for a deeply meaningful and creative experience as we combine the unveiling of Umama with the transformative activity of Story Circles. These Story Circles honor the multifaceted and profound journey of Black Motherhood—one of the core inspirations behind Umama. \nAt the heart of this gathering is the Divine Feminine\, the universal principle of creation that resides within us all\, regardless of gender. This principle\, often symbolized by the womb\, is the sacred source of life and renewal\, echoing the creative power of the Great Mother herself. Through storytelling and collage-making\, we will explore how this force shapes our lives\, connects us\, and reflects the infinite dimensions of motherhood. \nLed by ART 180\, the Story Circles provide an intimate and supportive environment where every voice is heard and every experience is honored. Whether you are a mother\, were raised by one\, or have stories shaped by caregiving and nurturing\, your story holds immense value here. \nParticipants will have the chance to create personal collages using a variety of paper materials and images to express their reflections. All supplies will be provided\, though you are welcome to bring photos\, clippings\, or other meaningful paper items to incorporate into your artwork. \nThis workshop is open to all ages and welcomes everyone—no prior art experience is needed. Simply bring your openness\, creativity\, and willingness to connect. Together\, we will celebrate the connections\, self-expression\, and the many ways the Divine Feminine and motherhood shape our lives.”
