ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
A VILLAGE OF VOICES IS A MULTIMEDIA PROJECT HIGHLIGHTING THE INFLUENCE OF
INTERGENERATIONAL DIALOGUE
AND ITS ROLE IN MAINTAINING FAMILIAL TRADITIONS AND ESTABLISHING IDEOLOGY AMONG PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT. THROUGH EXAMINING THE LIVES OF THE
MATRIARCHAL FIGURES
OF MY FAMILY AND THEIR RESPECTIVE JOURNEYS FROM THE CONTINENT TO THE DEEP SOUTH, AND EVENTUALLY THE BAY AREA— A VILLAGE OF VOICES EXPLORES HOW THE PRACTICE OF
GENERATIONAL STORYTELLING
HAS HELPED US NAVIGATE SPACE AND TIME, SERVING AS BOTH RESISTANCE AND SURVIVAL IN THE FACE OF CENTURIES LONG COLONIAL VIOLENCE
