Fahari Arts to mark 30 years of AIDS with exhibit, issues call for submissions

In their commemoration of 30 years of HIV/AIDS, Fahari Arts Institute will host their 2011 Fall group exhibition Our 30. Artistic director Harold Steward along with Diedrick Brackens will curate the event and are now inviting artists of all mediums to participate in the exhibit set to open Sept. 10 at 1111 Studio Gallery. The deadline for submissions is Aug. 6.

The release says, “This exhibition looks at 30 years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in black southern communities.”

The group is also counting down their season with two final events. The last Queerly Speaking is set for July 22 featuring Brandon Jackson. That is followed by Fahari Fierce: A Celebration of Black Queer Movement on July 30. Most Fahari events take place at the South Dallas Cultural Center.
