2007/ $2500

Neighborhood: Germantown

Change Partner: Barbara Bullock

Ife plans to create a series of mixed media and collage pieces for her first solo show in over 30 years dealing with two distinct topics: slavery and the contradictions of democracy in the United States and her own family history from Germantown to London to Africa. This show, at the Greene Street Artists Co-Op, will set the stage for further community dialogue on the role of women artists of color, specifically in Germantown, and their unique challenges to exhibit their work.
