SUMMARY:Rest is Power Exhibit Opening
DESCRIPTION:Rest is Power is an exhibition that amplifies visual narratives of rest for global Black people. In a selection of artworks that span photography\, painting and new media\, the curators underscore Black rest as a radical act of resistance. In this exhibition\, Dr. Joan Morgan\, Kira Joy Williams and Dr. Deborah Willis explore rest as a healing modality for Black people. \n  \nRest is Power provides an experience of liberation through visual repair. Depicted here is a small sample of the myriad ways Black people find rest while enduring the daily\, multifaceted aggressions visited upon Black bodies. The exhibition is an invitation to disrupt toxic\, lingering paradigms of work equaling worth\, reminding us that the Black body’s value in the “new” world was originally assigned\, not through the lens of mutual humanity\, but solely by its capacity for physical\, emotional and sexual labor. In these pieces\, Black Rest resists\, revives and replenishes. The artists in this exhibition create from a spring of inspiration that is deeply rooted in their own personal and artistic practices. Through various scenes––from domestic settings to landscapes––the more than twenty artists in Rest is Power both image and imagine Black Rest\, engaging this construct uniquely through material culture\, spiritual encounters\, familial memory and nature. \n  \nThe artists making connection to rest are: Kalila Ain\, Zalika Azim\, Daveed Baptiste\, Laylah Amatullah Barrayn\, Kennedi Carter\, Renee Cox\, Steven M. Cummings\, Adama Delphine Fawundu\, Lola Flash\, Chris Friday\, Cyd Fulton\, Jamaica Gilmer\, Allison Janae Hamilton\, Chester Higgins\, Deborah Jack\, Savannah Faith Jackson\, Lisa Leone\, Tyler Mitchell\, Stevia Ndoe\, Gordon Parks\, John Pinderhughes\, Jeffrey Henson Scales\, Jamel Shabazz\, Cornelius Tulloch\, Dae Tyas\, Colette Veasey-Cullors\, Adreinne Waheed\, Carrie Mae Weems\, D’Angelo Lovell Williams\, Kira Joy Williams\, and Dr. Deborah Willis. \n  \nThis exhibition is an initiative of the Black Rest Project (BRP) at the Center for Black Visual Culture at NYU. The Black Rest Project was inspired by artist\, theologist and activist Tricia Hersey\, who created the liberating framework of Rest is Resistance. \n  \nFor more information about the Black Rest Project and the Center for Black Visual Culture\, please visit cbvc.nyu.edu. \nDate:  Thursday\, Sep 7\, 2023 \nTime:  5 – 7:30pm EDT \nLocation: The Center for Black Visual Culture at NYU \n20 Cooper Square New York\, NY 10003

She is a Chicago native who has called Atlanta home for 12 years. Hersey is the founder of The Nap Ministry\, the originator of the “rest as resistance” and “rest as reparations” frameworks\, and creates sacred spaces where the liberatory\, restorative\, and disruptive power of rest can take hold. Her work is seeded within the soils of Black radical thought\, somatics\, Afrofuturism\, womanism\, and Black liberation theology\, and is a guide for how to collectively deprogram\, decolonize\, and unravel ourselves from the wreckage of capitalism and white supremacy. \nHersey holds a Bachelor of Science in public health from Eastern Illinois University and is an alumna of Candler School of Theology. She served as the 2023 Artist-Scholar in Residence at the Center for Black Visual Culture at New York University.
