Excellent. Strong. Awesome. Right.

For us, 2012 was a dream year. We were able to present Question Bridge: Black Males in 7 major cities across the U.S., invited to exhibit across the Atlantic in England, started our series of Blueprint Roundtables, integrated our Question Bridge curriculum into classrooms, and so much more.

Well, we are only 2 months into 2013 and we are currntly showcasing at the Zora Neale Hurston Museum in Eatonville FL, the Missouri HIstory Museum in St. Louis MO,Bloomfield College in Bloomfield NJ. Coming up, you can see Question Bridge: BLack Males at Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco, CA starting March 2nd and in Connecticut (Stamford, New Haven, Bridgeport, and Hartford) later in the month.

In addition to the exhibits, institutions in each of the cities will be hosting events with members of the Question Bridge team. Here are a few calendar dates:

  • March 2, 3:30-5pm – Panel Discussion: Catharine Clark Gallery w/ Chris Johnson

2012: A Look Back

Posted on by

2012 began with Question Bridge: Black Males installed at the Sundance Film Festival, the Brooklyn and Oakland Museums, among others; and it ends with installations at the Project Row House in Houston and the Exploratorium in San Francisco.

This year also saw the re-election of Barack Obama so it’s fair to say that our nation’s perceptions of Black men have experienced a significant shift in positive directions.

Many thanks go to the team of artists who made all of this possible. It’s a remarkable accomplishment!

But, most especially we owe debts of gratitude to the men who so generously opened their lives to this project.  It is their wisdom, humanity and courage that are speaking to audiences of Question Bridge.  If this work of art means anything, it’s because of them.
