THE CENTER for THE ARTS
BURN: Origins & Resistance
by Dr. Antoinette Ellis-Williams
in the Visual Arts Gallery
January 31 - March 3| In person | The Visual Arts Gallery
Dr. Antoinette Ellis-Williams' Solo Exhibition Opening in the Visual Arts Gallery
NJCU Visual Arts Gallery is pleased to hold an exhibition of Dr. Antoinette Ellis-Williams, Professor of Women & Gender Studies, from January 31 – March 3, 2022.
The BURN Project is a multi-disciplinary project which rethinks and explores the many ways black women experience “Burn” (e.g. unemployment, appropriation, dismissal, isolation, gentrification, cooptation, physical and sexual abuse, exploitation, etc.) and simultaneously their unique agency to set things on “Fiya” (aka fire) and heal.
During her sabbatical from NJCU in Fall 2020, she began ethnographic research by interviewing 14 women, created new visual art and literary works to develop multimedia installations. Utilizing gender theories of intersectionality, black feminism, and healing paradigms, The BURN Project unpacks and explores some of the historical, sociopolitical, economic and cultural contexts in which black women suffer(ed) “Burn” locally, nationally and globally.
