Curated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder, [*Voices in Print*](https://bit.ly/4xzDscX?ref=hyperallergic.com)is the inaugural exhibition to open in Morven’s Stockton Education Center. It’s part of *Re-Visioning America: 1776–2026*, commemorating the United State’s 250th with exhibitions highlighting the nation’s diversity and showcasing the work of female artists of color. 

*Re-Visioning America* was inspired by Princeton University Art Museum’s first exhibition of work by Black artists, *Fragments of American Life*, mounted during the bicentennial in 1976 that included just one Black woman artist. *Re-Visioning America* showcases and celebrates female artists of color who were excluded from the art world, and acknowledges their advocacy to create space for themselves and others.

*Voices in Print* showcases generations of Black women artist activists whose art is transgressive in advocating for visibility and social change. Many worked collaboratively to pioneer new printmaking techniques and create opportunities for themselves in the art world; they serve as mentors and influences. As Black women, they have placed authentic representations of the Black female body at the center of their work — representations that reflect their experiences, identities, confidence, strength, beauty, and ideas — creating powerful works that others can find themselves mirrored in. 

The museum is dedicated to celebrating New Jersey’s cultural heritage, and all 14 artists have a connection to the state: Emma Amos, Camille Billops, Vivian E. Browne, Nanette Carter, Nefertiti Goodman, Gladys Barker Grauer, Diane Victoria Horn, Carmen Cartiness Johnson, Nell Painter, Sondra Perry, Janet Taylor Pickett, Mickalene Thomas, Nette Forné Thomas, and Bisa Washington.

The project is a collaboration with Art Against Racism, Arts Council of Princeton, Garden Theatre, Historical Society of Princeton, Princeton Public Library, Princeton University Art Museum, the Princeton University Humanities Initiative, and William Trent House Museum. Funding provided by the New Jersey Historic Trust and the Mercer County Cultural & Heritage Commission, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. 

*Voices in Print* is on view now through February 28, 2027 at Morven: 55 Stockton Street, Princeton, NJ.
