SOTY Field Trip: Black Ink "The Black Arts Movement in Print"
Join us for a visit to the University of Houston Libraries’ current exhibit, “Black Ink: The Black Arts Movement in Print.” Curated by Julie Grob, the exhibit features selected materials from UH Special Collections, highlighting significant works of poetry and writing from the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 70s.
As we move through the exhibit, we will gather in reflection and writing, drawing inspiration from the legacy of Black artists, poets, and thinkers who used language as a tool for expression, resistance, and cultural preservation.
Program Flow
We will experience the exhibit together, followed by a brief talk, time for individual and collective writing, and an opportunity to share in community.
Please bring something to write with, something to write on, and comfortable walking shoes as there is a walk from the garage to the library. Come ready to write into memory, lineage, and imagination.
Note that attendees will need to have a valid government photo ID (driver’s license, state ID, passport, etc.) to be admitted to the library by security. Unfortunately there will be no exceptions.
An optional group lunch will follow on campus. You are welcome to bring your own lunch or purchase food from the student union.
