This is a juried group show at Pearson Community Center Gallery that opened to celebrate Juneteenth last month. The juror behind the collection is Tameka Henry, who is the CCSD Trustee for District C. And, she’s the Executive Director of The Obodo Collective (and featured in Desert Companion).

Some Red, Some Not highlights many of the cultural touchstones of the African Disapora and African-American experience, and the “some red” part references the connection of that color’s positive symbolism in West Africa, and how that plays a part in the identity of Black Americans here. In this exhibit, you see this especially in the artistic representation of food, which is important to Juneteenth gatherings.

There are 34 artists with work in this show — a lot to take in. But do it before July 24, as that’s when the show ends, and Pearson is open Monday through Saturday.
