Saturday, September 23, 3-5pm, Urban Arts Space, 50 W. Town St., Ste. 130

The work of Congolese artist Lucie Kamuswekera, currently on view at Urban Arts Space, raises important questions about the role that artmaking can play as a form of activism. How can artwork be a tool to effect change in the way that people think or act? What makes for successful activist art, and does the intent of the artist matter in this regard? Questions like these are of particular importance for Black art and artists, both on the African continent and in its Diaspora.

Saturday, September 23, 12noon-7pm, Mayme Moore Park, 867 Mt. Vernon Ave.

“Columbus Community Pride 2023: Here to Stay” celebrates the enduring legacy of resistance and survival in the face of unrelenting state violence. The theme reminds us that Black and Brown queer, trans, and intersex folks from all walks of life have always preserved by grounding ourselves in intentional community and building our own systems of care, safety, and healing outside of the influence of the state. We are rooted in these values and this is what allows Community Pride to continue to flourish.
