🖼✍️🏾reposted from @galerie.shibumi #GalerieShibumi is honored to announce an open call for Black New York, a group exhibition inspired by the profound legacy of the African diaspora in New York City.
We are especially moved by the recent passing of artist #NonaFaustine, whose work powerfully illuminated the history and presence of Black life in this city. Her images remind us that history is not static—it lives in our bodies, our streets, our stories. In her spirit, we are holding space for artists whose work continues this vital legacy of remembrance, presence, and resistance.
We invite visual artists, poets, writers, and filmmakers based in New York City whose practice is deeply rooted in Black culture—especially work that reflects on the layered histories, identities, and experiences of Black communities in New York. This city is a living archive of Black brilliance, struggle, joy, and creativity. It deserves to be seen, heard, and held.
Please carefully review the submission guidelines on our website for eligibility, deadlines, and full participation details. We look forward to seeing your work and celebrating the Black New York that was, is, and continues to become.
Submission Deadline: Friday, June 27. 2025; 11:59pm ET
Exhibition Dates: Saturday, July 25 through Saturday, August 23, 2025
