The Brave: Affirming Power, Presence & Possibility
August 30 – October 11, 2025
Opening Reception
Saturday, August 30 | 6:00 – 8:00 PM
Galerie Myrtis is pleased to present The Brave: Affirming Power, Presence & Possibility, a powerful group exhibition curated by Myrtis Bedolla. On view from August 30 through October 11, 2025, the exhibition features contemporary artists whose work explores the emotional, historical, and imaginative landscapes of the African diaspora.
Inspired by the anthemic lyrics of Danielle Ponder’s Some of Us Are Brave, the exhibition centers artists who examine the complexities of Black freedom, the weight of injustice, and the radical potential of self-definition. Through painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, and installation, The Brave calls forth a collective testimony that honors ancestral strength, celebrates embodied truth, and demands space for joy, grief, intimacy, and transformation.
Featured artists: Devin Allen, Lavett Ballard, Wesley Clark, Jerrell Gibbs, Fabiola Jean-Louis, Felandus Thames, Megan Lewis, Delita Martin, Ronald Jackson, M. Scott Johnson, Ya La’Ford, James Seward, and Bria Wilson-Sterling.
