Join us for a private tour of the current exhibition at Wellesley College’s Jewett Art Center!

Aiming for Freedom: Race, Reparations & Right Paths is a traveling exhibition organized by New America Us@250 Lumina Foundation Fellow K. Melchor Quick Hall. Hall is also currently a postdoctoral fellow at Wellesley College in the Anti-Carceral Co-Laboratory, working to advance abolitionist and food sovereignty futures. Aiming for Freedom features work by four core artists--sculptor Darrell Ann Gane-McCalla, painter Destiny Palmer, fiber artist Marla McLeod, and quilter Kimberly Love Radcliffe--accompanied by complementary “abolitionist” works, created anew locally in each location to which the show travels, that speak to Black feminist artistic visions of our shared liberation.

The work in the Wellesley College version of this exhibition was made in an art course for formerly incarcerated women taught by Marla McLeod and a summer '24 quilting workshop for daughters of (formerly and currently) incarcerated persons taught by Kimberly Love Radcliffe. 

Aiming for Freedom will be on display in the Jewett Art Gallery from Jan. 21 - Feb. 28 2025, with an opening reception from 4:30-6:00 pm on Friday Jan. 24.

The event is free but space is limited.
