The Seed & the sower

Commissioned by the Arts Council of Fayetteville for their Black History Month Exhibition, Teresa curated ‘The Seed & The Sower’. The process began with a national call for art, from which 139 submissions were received from artists all across the country. Ultimately, 51 were selected.

This show was viewed by 1,498 visitors during its month long run.

About the theme:

The Seed & the Sower is a showcase about the strength of connectivity found in black female, familial relationships. Science states that a female child is born with all of the eggs she will ever carry in her lifetime. With this knowledge, it can be understood that a piece of us, no matter how microscopic- has been with our mother, our grandmothers, our great-grandmothers, and so on. We will eventually go from being 'seeds' of our ancestors to 'sowers' as we pass along the traits, ideals, and dispositions that were passed to us.
