Sankofa has assembled five area artists to showcase works in a variety of media that depict the struggle and triumphs of the Black experience in America.  In addressing current events such as the Jena 6 protests, Hurricane Katrina and the Florida boot camp verdict, the artists’ works call into question America’s social infrastructure and justice system that are often blamed for deconstructing black families and communities, and perpetuating self-destruction.

Sankofa Fine Art Plus is a nonprofit community arts organization dedicated to the education, preservation and distribution of fine ethnic art. For more information, visit www.sankofafineartplus.org.
