Seven Voices brought together seven African American artists whose individual experiences produced sharply different styles, subjects and forms of storytelling: Elizabeth Catlett, Margaret T. Burroughs, Charles Criner, Marie Johnson-Calloway, Lionel Lofton, Rose Piper and Winfred Rembert.
Spanning work made between 1946 and 2006, the exhibition resisted the idea of a single Black aesthetic. It placed printmaking, drawing, painting, collage and tooled leather into conversation, allowing personal memory, labor, spirituality, family and social history to remain distinct yet connected.
This restored digital edition preserves the exhibition’s original web addresses and surviving texts. Archival images are presented without adding titles or dates that could not be verified.
