MALKIA (Swahili, “queen”) – “As a black artist and a black teacher, I have been gripped by the threads of an elemental and pervasive spirituality in the art of the so-called “Third World”. As a black woman, I feel strongly about my painting as a thread in that tapestry. I see it as an instrument of nourishment and strength for black people. Not political propaganda, not “anti-art”, but a source of positive imagery to negate subtle distorted stereotypes of the past, and to undergird our growing sense of identity, pride and direction.”Malkia Roberts, 1971read more about Malkia Roberts
