Everything we do as artists and as people, in general, begins as a vision. We look at a blank canvas, an empty room, a vacant lot, a white monitor screen, a yellow-legal pad. We have an idea or a vision and we express it. And then, we rewrite, repaint, redo, reorganize, redecorate, reconsider, revise. In this show artists take a step back and a fresh look at their practice. How has their vision changed? What influenced that change? How has the aging of the work as well the artist added deeper insight and more meaning? In turn, we hope this exhibition inspires you, the viewer, to reflect on your own (re)visions – Beverly Logan

Often associated with the Earth, the color brown grounds us by providing a safe space to exist within. What happens when this color no longer serves as a mark of safety and stability for those whom it shares its pigments with? Coffee–a color study–gives Black women artists an opportunity to explore the deeper meaning behind the color Brown.
By analyzing the color brown’s capacity to signify stability and reliability, these artists challenge the way others traditionally see and understand things. Through this, they manage to change how people interpret the color’s meaning and they also help to shape perspectives on the presence of Black and brown people in everyday spaces.
Through this exhibition, curator Atiya Dorsey supports artists in redefining the spaces they are in by giving them room to solidify their presence through shades of brown that transform from pigments of colors to unerasable stains of coffee—imprints that not only serve as a declaration of space, but that also represent their unique, permanent marks on this world.
