Event Details

This January and February, in the face of a tumultuous political climate in which hatred and racism have become increasingly present in the national dialogue, Root Division presents an alternative to all the ugliness.

Call for Beauty challenges assumptions about the concept of beauty while honoring the historical and ongoing creative presence of black artists in the Bay Area. Curated by 3.9 Art Collective, Call for Beauty addresses traditional and emergent notions of beauty through the manipulation of materials, forms, and space.

The 3.9 Art Collective is an association of black artists, curators, and art writers of African descent who live in San Francisco. Expanding beyond the reach of their group for this exhibition, the 3.9 Art Collective invited members of the black artist community from around the Bay Area to respond to the call to expand the dialogue around historical and contemporary notions of beauty. Featuring 33 artists working in a variety of media, Call for Beauty offers a wide range of definitions and approaches to the beautiful.

The opening reception will feature live performances by Lukaza Branfman-Verissmo and Anthony Julius Williams.
