I Can Show You Better Than I Can Tell You will showcase the body of work Desirae Brown has created throughout her time at ASLD since September 2024. Exploring the value and beauty of her experience in single Black motherhood.

Many symbols in our culture associated with low-income black women and/or women of color have negative connotations. They are often viewed as cliché, reduced to a type and not a person: lazy, low-class, young, unmarried, uneducated, uncultured, non-contributing members of society. I respond to these perceptions by elevating materials often associated with lesser value and lower class. Instead, I use them as tools to expose the true brilliance upholding Black motherhood: limitless creativity, resourcefulness, intelligence, resilience, selflessness, awareness, humility, self-sacrifice, patience, perseverance, protectiveness, triumph, advocacy, and at the root of everything, love.

This exhibit is a part of the Visiting Artist of Color Residency.
