Art of Transformation 2023 There’s a quite an art collection building in Opa-locka. Presented by Ten North Group, Art of Transformation is a combination of four different exhibits – “Fragmented Worlds/ Coherent Lives,”“Cartographies of Displacement,” “Garden of Humanity” and “I’ve Known Rivers” – that includes the work of artists of African descent from around the globe. Another key feature of the Art of Transformation is programming like the “Required Reading Public Art Project,” a combination of panel discussions, public readings and an installation entitled “The Garden of Humanity” all focused on the importance of Black writers amid the string of book bannings around the country. Each exhibit examines issues through the lens of African and African Diaspora contemporary art.
