The Black Creatives Circle of North Louisiana presents K’Shana Hall-Davis, Drék Davis, Benicia King, and Vitus Shell.

This exhibition will showcase the work of members of the Black Creative Circle of North Louisiana.

The BCCNL is a service organization focusing on increasing the connection and visibility of Black creatives within North Louisiana. The exhibition will represent various themes from each individual artist, which collectively derives inspiration from the Biblical scripture John 14:2, “There are many rooms in my father’s house.” Each room entwines with each other distinguishing the multiple conversations that are being held, yet concealed within the South.

This exhibition draws heavily from Huckaby’s series “40 Acres… Gumbo Ya Ya,” which consists of images taken in rural Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas and framed in vintage embroidery hoops. Also featured are pieces from Huckaby’s “Shop Rags” series, and a multi-media quilt titled Mississippi Mud. the exhibition examines the landscape of the rural South, the realities and longings of a neglected culture, and the hopes and dreams passed on to future generations.
