Join textile artist Simone Elizabeth Saunders in the gallery as she discusses the themes of identity, ancestry and Black womanhood explored in u.n.i.t.y. Borrowing iconography from her biracial heritage, art history, literature, music, and current events, Saunders depicts single female figures, each a montage of powerful, inspirational Black bodies that collectively surface as a strong and resilient community. As much as these eloquent portraits connote Black joy and resilience, it is when they are presented together that they become narratives of connection that, for Saunders, offers herself and others a potent sense of belonging.
Simone Elizabeth Saunders: u.n.i.t.y. is organized by Contemporary Calgary, and curated by Ryan Doherty. Works courtesy of the Artist and Claire Oliver Gallery, NY.
