Jae Jarrell's "Going to NYC" (1994⁠)⁠ is reproduced from 'AfriCOBRA: Messages to the People,' edited by @drartsculturegirl and published by @gregoryrmiller & @mocanomi⁠⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ "It was done in a very family-like way," Jarrell is quoted in the book. "The love we had for one another, the respect we built for on another, the trust we had. . . . There’s a value in that you never divorce family, and it’s always a part of you if you really buy into it."⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Read more via linkinbio.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Photo courtesy @kravetswehbygallery⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #jaejarrell #goingtonyc ⁠#africobra #messagestothepeople #BlackArtsMovement⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CI0qsLFJS27/?igshid=1qfyovczkmhzp

#Repost @brooklynmuseum with @repostapp ・・・ As one of the co-founders of the Black Arts Movement collective AfriCOBRA, fashion designer #JaeJarrell made one-of-a-kind clothes using the bright hues the collective called “Cool Ade” colors. Her vibrant garments exalt black family and culture and, when worn by the artist in her daily life, became powerful statements in which the artist literally embodied a goal or message of the Black Arts Movement. See Jarrell's work, alongside works from several other black women artists and activists, next month in #wewantedarevolution—opening April 21. #womenshistorymonth #5womenartists
