The Museum of the National Center of Afro-American Artists (NCAAA) announces ARTISTS SPEAK PROJECTING PEACE, a bold extension of the current exhibition CANCEL VIOLENCE: ARTISTS SPEAK on Sunday, February 23, 2025 at 3 p.m.. Free and open to the public, CANCEL VIOLENCE: ARTISTS SPEAK PROJECTING PEACE offers an afternoon of dynamic interplay between visual and theater artists and social visionaries active in greater Boston. The exhibition and related programs are funded through the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture’s UN-MONUMENTS INITIATIVE with a grant from the Mellon Foundation.

CANCEL VIOLENCE: ARTISTS SPEAKS presents works by Hakim Raquib, Rob Stull, Johnetta Tinker, Laurence Pierce, Rob “PROBLAK” Gibbs, Shea Justice, Paul Goodnight and L’Merchie Frazier. Through their art, they explore causes of violence and possible correctives in an effort to guide communities toward social healing and restored human wholeness. Images from the exhibition intermixed with video clips of artist talking will be projected on the exterior facade of the museum at dusk thus providing one of the earliest grand scale, artistic screenings on a Roxbury building. It will be a must see.

PROJECTING PEACE is in collaboration with ILLUMINUS and FPoint Productions. It is composed of still and video images created by the visual artists cited above. Preceding the outdoor screening, CANCEL VIOLENCE: ARTISTS SPEAK PROJECTING PEACE will present Love, Queens Who Suffer From Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, an original choreo-poem written and compiled by Jamila Batts Capitman and Heather Thomas. Directed by Capitman, Love, Queens was Inspired by Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Consider Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf. It explores the impact of violence on communities through dramatic, poetic monologues. A discussion with the playwright and artists moderated by Chaplain Clementina Chéry of the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute follows.

CANCEL VIOLENCE: ARTISTS SPEAK is on display Fridays-Sundays, 1 - 5 p.m., through April 27.
