Sit a Spell: An Invitation. An Invocation.


  • The Colored Girls Museum 4613 Newhall Street Philadelphia, PA, 19144 United States (map)

The Colored Girls Museum is celebrating seven years of museuming differently; Sit a Spell is our 10th exhibition. This exhibition features work from artists in Washington, DC, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ghana, New Orleans, and elsewhere. Sit A Spell signals the museum's intention to enter a state of repose as we prepare for movement beyond Philadelphia into other spaces and places worldwide. We would like to see outposts of The Colored Girl Museum everywhere." Sit a Spell is an invitation to celebrate the work of new artists from the African Diaspora. It's also a call to Black women to invoke the wisdom of our ancestors, remember our history, and imagine new futures. Taking the time to Sit A Spell at TCGM is an act of resistance.
