In partnership with Black Artists Archive (BAA) and funded by an awarded grant from The Terra Foundation, spearheaded by cultural preservationist David Ellis, Vinyl Legacies, BAA's inaugural archival initiative, focuses on the comprehensive cataloging, digitization, and preservation of The Black Canon's extensive collection of over 12,000 vinyl records showcasing Black music.
Curated by Dr. Kelli Morgan of BAA, Candid Culture is a virtual exhibition that delves into The Black Canon's expansive archive of candid photography, highlighting the vibrancy of Black performance, community activism, and artistic exhibitions in Detroit during the pinnacle of the Civil Rights Era.
The Art of the Ages Exhibit features a curated selection from The Black Canon Collection, spanning the years 1910 to 1990. This exhibit traces the evolution of the portrayal of Black Americans in media, beginning with the harmful stereotypes and racist depictions seen in early works of the 20th Century.
Over the decades, we witnessed a powerful shift toward empowerment, pride, and the creation of our own stories. The exhibit highlights the journey from misrepresentation to self-representation, reflecting the resilience and creativity of Black artists and storytellers.
