I.D.E.A. Space Exhibit:
"Beyond Mammy, Jezebel +
Sapphire: Reclaiming Images
of Black Women"
I.D.E.A. Space, EKG
Cornerstone Arts Center (4)
This exhibition features images that examine and interrogate culturallyconstructed controlling images of black women. From the suffering mama, to
the stoic victim, to the sassy broad – the images presented in the exhibition
question and overturn entrenched archetypes of black femininity. Engaging a
wide range of experiences and artistic practices, the nine artists featured in
this exhibition challenge the controlling images of black women that continue
to pervade our culture and influence perceptions. Their artworks jar loose
expectations and replace simplistic narratives with nuanced, sophisticated
meditations on contemporary identity. Frankly addressing ideas such as frailty,
sexualized power, and racially-bounded ideals of beauty, "Reclaiming Images"
presents us with compelling and nuanced examinations of multiple black
female identities and experiences. Students & Parents
1 p.m., 2:30 p.m.

The Almagre Review, a literary magazine published in Colorado Springs, the

freedom found in the story. Professor Gould, the former poet laureate of the
Pikes Peak region, is a Native American writer and poet of Maidu/Konkow

powerful because of its brevity. Students & Parents
