Where We Stay | Gallery Exhibition Opening
About this Event
Join us on Thursday, June 11, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at the Daisy Arts Center for the opening reception of Where We Stay, an exhibition curated by Tayina Deravile exploring the architecture of home across Black communities: how it is built, inherited, remembered, and made sacred through generations.
The exhibition is rooted in the legacy of Dr. James Sistrunk and Daisy Sistrunk, whose home became a site of cultural exchange, civic gathering, and Black excellence. Their residence, once recognized by Ebony Magazine as a symbol of achievement and collective pride, stood as a reminder that home has long served as both sanctuary and stage for Black cultural life. Where We Stay draws from the living history of the Sistrunk corridor and the communities that shaped it.
Featuring eight contemporary artists: Allison Bolah, Adrienne Chadwick, Amaya Estrada, Clarence Josey II, Emmanuel George, Shawna Moulton, Cornelius Tulloch, and Carrington Ware. The exhibition considers home as a living archive of memory, migration, adornment, kinship, and belonging.
The opening reception unfolds across the full Daisy Arts Center campus, inviting guests into an evening of art, conversation, and communal gathering. Free food and drinks sponsored by Wayne & Lucretia Weiner.
An opening. A homecoming. A living record of what endures.
