Galerie Myrtis will host a book signing for Shifting Time: African American Artists 2020–2021 in partnership with the Petrucci Family Foundation (PFF). The event features co-editors Klare Scarborough and Berrisford Boothe alongside several artists highlighted in Shifting Time, such as Lavett Ballard, Tawny Chatmon, Morel Doucet, LaToya Hobbs, Monica Ikegwu, Delita Martin, Tim McFarlane, Ransome, Sachi Rome, Felandus Thames, and Stephen Towns. Shifting Time offers a glimpse into the lives of over 70 African American artists during the COVID-19 pandemic, social justice movements, and political upheaval.

“If we look to the artists, in this volume and elsewhere, we will hear the call and response of the world screaming and the artists answering the challenges of the moment. So, by taking on these projects, artists have been able to offer a tangible reaction to questions that no one has yet fully formulated.” – Lewis Tanner Moore, Foreword for Shifting Time: African American Artists 2020–2021
