The difference is that no matter what Pfaff juxtaposes, none of it seems arbitrary."

We oftentimes forget that Black artists across the country responded to the call for relevancy during the Black Power Movement. I am curious, however, about the absence of one particular Detroit artist in this article, Shirley Woodson Reid who figured prominently then and now in the Detroit Black Arts Movement. --- ## ICYMI [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/2025/12/venancio-1.jpg)](https://hyperallergic.com/dine-weaver-venancio-aragon-dyes-wool-with-kool-aid/) Venancio Aragón with "Waiting for the Rain" (2022) (photo courtesy Venancio Aragón) [**Diné Weaver Venancio Aragón Dyes Wool With Kool-Aid**](https://hyperallergic.com/dine-weaver-venancio-aragon-dyes-wool-with-kool-aid/) The Diné artist and teacher continually colors his practice with new aesthetic and material horizons. **|** Sháńdíín Brown and Zach Feuer --- ### Featured Opportunity **Virginia A.
