Lloyd Foster’s Height and Soil, presented in Long Gallery Harlem’s Art of the Window series, celebrates Harlem’s community through photo-based sculptures created from images of residents and neighborhood landmarks. Echoing Lorraine O’Grady’s Art Is…, the installation transforms everyday moments into art, emphasizing the role of Black communities not only as subjects but as makers within the avant-garde.

Upon the opening of the group exhibition We Wanted A Revolution, Jessica Bell Brown celebrates the Black female artists-activists who made space to create their own art world in the 1970s and 80s, including Lorraine O’Grady, Linda Goode-Bryant, and Senga Nengudi. Brown reminds her audience that the work doesn’t stop at this exhibition; she strongly urges museums to acquire the exhibited pieces into their permanent collections.
