Safe Harbors is proud to present an exhibition of Flowers for Our Grandmothers, a community-based collaborative creative project led by Gabrielle Burton Hill, Francois Deschamps, and Jesse Flaitz.
Flowers for Our Grandmothers aims to represent and honor the lives, beauty, and wisdom of Black and African-American grandmothers in Newburgh. Participating grandmothers were interviewed, recorded, and photographed by the creative team, and the project includes an exhibition of photographs, a 52-page book with illustrations and narratives, and an audio interview archive. A soundtrack edited from interviews with participants will accompany the exhibition. Their framed photographs and live recordings will be on display for Newburgh Open Studios Weekend in the Cornerstone Lobby, with a special opening reception and panel discussion with the grandmothers on Friday, September 27. The exhibition will be remain on view through October 11.
