Summary:
"These are the cries and silent voices of women as they sing
in the Hallelujah chorus of triumph!"
"ART JAM!..." illuminates the nurturing savvy of African American women,
speaking of the survival mastery of Aunt Saddie to Imani Rashun - African
American women doing what they do best, both professionally and domestically.
They are the trailblazers, and glue that under grids a nation. From
cooking to sewing, singing to dancing the creative spirit travels through the
thoroughfares of life, demonstration great skill in unabridged diplomacy and
survival.
"ART JAM!..." is a multi-media book project that extends recognition long
over-due to artists from north to south, east to west whose innate creativity
covers everything from prose to floral design. The African American women
draw upon the creative roots that connect them to the motherland and the black
church experience.
"ART JAM!..." is no ordinary book project it is in fact an ongoing experience
that takes you on a journey of survival. What at first appeared to be the
simple writing of a book, turned out to be a live moving organism. For it
is said, "We are the book; live and in living hue. The written words are
the aftermath to our experiences." how can one tell a story that is in
constant motion?
This book project comes with numerous movements: The arts; verse;
mouthwatering cuisine; music of the heart; the African American woman and her
hair; and of course the sweatpotato. Each time these women of great
strength come together it turns out to be an electrifying experience. At
our Barnes & Noble Debut and Art Exhibition, the stage was set and the
atmosphere charged, as well as our last art exhibition at Canvas, Paper and
Stone Gallery in Harlem.
Future showcase will be posted on our upcoming website.
