Call for Submissions: 18th Annual African American Fiber Art Exhibition, In Praise of the Ancestors
African American fiber artists from across the nation are invited to participate in the 18th Annual African American Fiber Art Exhibition, In Praise of the Ancestors, a component of the 2025 North Charleston Arts Fest. Ancestor worship is a central custom of African religion and is practiced throughout the African diaspora. In addition to their deep reverence for elders, followers of traditional African religion believe the ancestors maintain a spiritual connection to and powerful influence on their living relatives, and their wisdom is considered invaluable. This year’s theme aims to honor legends of the Diaspora, known and unknown, whose lives and sacrifices gave birth to our many celebrated accomplishments and have brought us to this place.
April 30-June 15, 2025 North Charleston City Hall, North Charleston, SC
