The participants, Amber Coleman, Ashley Crooks-Allen, Karina Lewis, and Monique May, created works of art after reflecting on their own Black\/feminine experiences while exploring Black feminist theory, African American women\u2019s artworks, and museum educational practices. This group of young professional Black women participated in a series of field trips, readings, and art-making and writing activities in order to create an exhibition that asks viewers to think critically about how African American women\u2019s art exists in museums and how we understand and learn from these works. The artists featured in the exhibition hope to provide a better understanding and increased representation of African American women\u2019s art and challenge others to question how Black feminist theory can work within exhibition spaces.<\/p>\n<p>To read more about these exhibitions visit:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/art.uga.edu\/galleries\/upcoming-exhibitions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
