Addie J. Hamerter is included in Continuum: MoAD Over Time. This landmark exhibition marks the 20th anniversary of the Museum of the African Diaspora. More than a retrospective, Continuum introduces MoAD’s next frontier, showing how the museum has been both foundational to the Bay Area’s cultural landscape and an increasingly vital global venue for art of the African Diaspora. ‍Organized thematically and chronologically, Continuum moves through key eras and ideas in the museum’s evolution, tracing a living timeline from its founding to the present and into the future. Visitors will encounter foundational figures, pivotal exhibitions, program milestones, innovations, and visionary leadership moments. This show is designed to celebrate memory, spark reflection, and invite participation.

Artists in this Exhibition: Cheryl Patrice Derricotte, Chester Higgins Jr., JoeSam., Richard Mayhew, Ramekon O’Arwisters, Gordon Parks, Lava Thomas, and Sam Vernon

Resistance and Reverb: Movements 1 & 2
HALL Arts Hotel
1717 Leonard St., Dallas, TX 75201

Resistance and Reverb: Movements 1 & 2 (2018) is currently on view and permanently installed at HALL Arts Hotel in Dallas, Texas. The immersive installation features over 600 tambourines whose pink surfaces evoke the Women’s Marches of January 2017 and moments of feminist activism from the 1980s and 1990s. Dispersed within the cloud of tambourines are fragments of political speeches excerpted from past and present voices of women's resistance–ranging from Sojourner Truth's 1851 speech, "Ain't I a Woman," to Alicia Garza's powerfully succinct message, "Black Lives Matter.” The installation fuses historic and contemporary expressions of activism into a unified statement of solidarity, resilience, and resistance. The distinct elements of the installation represent a multiplicity united in solidarity, yet still retaining individual agency: power placed directly in the hands of the people.

Euretta F. Adair is included as part of an ongoing exhibition at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture. Reckoning: Protest. Defiance. Resilience tells stories of injustice, resistance and courage—and looks at the ways in which visual art has long provided its own protest, commentary, escape and perspective for African Americans.
