Black Futures in Art: Genome Speaks What Erasure Cannot silence is an exhibition reflecting on five years of growth, returning to the enduring histories, memories, and creative lineages that shape Black artistic futures. It emphasizes that erasure cannot silence what is carried in the body and inherited through lived experience, imagination, and ancestral knowledge. As a continually evolving collective, Black Futures in Art celebrates a resilient, unbroken continuum of voices, brilliance, and cultural presence.

Black Futures in Art is curated by Adderly Grant-Lord and brings together contemporary Black artists working across mediums to reimagine legacy, community, and the futures they are actively building.
