About The Artwork

In the face of adversity, the Black African experience has carried a gaze - steady, luminous, unbroken. A gaze that rises through history, from resistance to renaissance, uniting generations across the continent and the diaspora.

It is not only the act of looking forward, but of reimagining what could be. We see it in the hands of builders, the voices of change-makers, the brushstrokes of artists who reshape memory and possibility.

This gaze is strength. It is vision. And it continues to light the path toward a future of dignity, justice, and joy.
