Bahia Reverb: Artists and Place

The California African American Museum (CAAM) and Art + Practice(A+P) announced that the exhibition Bahia Reverb: Artists and Place will be presented at A+P in Leimert Park.

Artist residencies are an important tool for artists to explore site-oriented practices and experience firsthand particular places and cultures. Bahia Reverb: Artists and Place presents the work of ten former fellows at the Sacatar Institute in Bahia, Brazil, all from North America and of African descent, to reflect on how Bahia, an epicenter of the African diaspora, has fueled their work and changed their understanding of themselves.

Bahia was the first point of entry of enslaved Africans into the Americas and remains the center of Afro-Brazilian culture to this day.
