Holding pain, protest, and joy simultaneously, blue hues can be powerful symbols of Black histories and futures. This exhibition utilizes the color blue in collage, fiber works, and photographic processes to expand on experiences of Blackness. Featuring works by Ẹiyẹ njẹ Ọkà Bàba, Brian LaMar, and others, Blue is Our Color includes traditional dyeing and patterning processes from Nigeria and Mali and cyanotypes depicting demonstrations against police brutality.
