Join RAM and Mahogany Gallery for the Opening Reception of Futures Reimagined: RAM Community Art Show at RAM’s Wustum Museum, 2519 Northwestern Avenue, Racine, on Wednesday, June 14, 6:00 – 8:00 pm. Light refreshments will be served.

Open through August 5, 2023, this community-focused exhibition showcases artwork that envisions what a potential future—realistic or fantastical, possible or impossible—could look like. Futures Reimagined is organized with Scott Terry of Mahogany Gallery in Racine and is inspired by the theme of Mahogany Gallery’s 2nd Annual Wisconsin Black Art and Culture Expo, Black Futures. As a part of Futures Reimagined, Terry invited artists who identify as black or of the African diaspora to participate in the next iteration of the Expo theme, Black Futures 2. He encouraged artists to consider themes of blackness in the future—what will a change in humanity look like? What would such a change feel like? How do black histories influence black futures?
