The Center for Black Diaspora is honored to host this event with Chicago-based artist, Zakkiyyah Najeebah, as a part of our Emerging Scholars and Creatives Series today May 6, 2021 at 6:00 PM/CST and co-organized with the Dept. of African & Black Diaspora Studies and the Women’s Center.
Zakkiyyah’s work is most often initiated by personal and social histories related to family legacy, queerness, community making, and intimacy. She is currently a 2021 Artist-in-Residence at UChicago Arts, Art and Public Life.
Join us for a presentation on the trajectory of her work and it’s exploration of Black women’s cultural contributions and private and public self-hood through photo, found images, video, and text and discussion.
Moderator: Juelle Daley, Assisant Director, Center for Black Diaspora and Independent Curator.
