The purpose of the Sistas in the Arts Series! is to provide a safe-space for womyn of color to
express themselves creatively. We seek to cultivate new discourse and ideas on womyn-
centered issues while exploring various art forms created by womyn...Too often womyn of
African decent are portrayed as video vixens, ‘baby mommas,’ and objects. This seems to be the
only way a womon can break into the mainstream and become successful in the entertainment
industry. However, we know these stereotypical images of us are one-sided and over-
exaggerated. Black womyn have long played an instrumental role in the way in which we view
politics, the economy and societal ills domestically, and abroad. From Sarah Vaughn to Jill
Scott…Zora Neale Hurston to Edwidge Danticat…Margaret Burroughs to Annie Lee…Judith
Jamison to Debbie Allen, there is a rich history of creativity and expression among us.
We hope to celebrate and continue the legacy of great womyn artists
with our monthly showcases.
