PROLOGUE
Now you see her
Black, rich and defiant
Standing firm amidst the elements
Sucking deep into nothingness
Refining fossils from refuse
Producing feasts from debris
Daring every tribulation
Defying time

This Art Exhibition is all about celebrating the Woman, the beautiful African Woman. She is the earth, she is the tree; she is the present, she is the future.
