Reynolda Museum Outing

The Carver Road Church of Christ Youth and Young Adult Ministry invites you to The Reynolda Museum in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on Saturday, May 6th, 2023 at 12pm to tour Artist Stephen Towns's exhibition Declaration & Resistance. Stephen Towns, Declaration and Resistance, examines the American dream through the lives of Black Americans from the late eighteenth century to the present time. Using labor as a backdrop, Towns highlights the role African Americans have played in building the economy and explores how their resilience, resistance, and perseverance have challenged the United States to truly embrace the tenets of its Declaration of Independence. Towns has created paintings and story quilts that expand the historical narratives of enslaved and free people who toiled under the most extreme hardships, yet persevered through acts of rebellion, skillful guile, and self-willed determination. Within this arresting body of work, Towns also shows the beauty and love that Black people possess beyond the grips of White supremacy. Admissions for adults are $15.00 plus 7% tax per person. Bro. Robinson needs a full count of those attending by Monday, May 1st at 12pm. https://reynolda.org/.../stephen-towns-declaration.../
