Director’s Statement

Wishing all of our patrons, contributors and partners a Happy 2022!

As we enter our third year, we at Mehari Sequar Gallery are very excited and honored to have the opportunity to present the works of gifted and talented women identified artists articulating the narrative of the African diaspora. Through exciting solo and group shows, this year’s participating artists will employ various styles and mediums to convey their unique view of the world.

This year’s o erings have been meticulously curated by our sta to not only be visually stimulating, but intellectually challenging, and provoke variation in perspective and lived experiences. These artists work across all mediums (figurative, collage, abstraction, sculptural…) and are at various stages of their careers, including recent Yale MFA graduates, those already in museum collections, and first-time solo exhibitors. We are very excited about this year’s program and hope it will be just as fulfilling for you.

Our sta continues to work diligently to preserve, document, and record the stories of the African and African American lived experiences. We hope to continue to serve and grow the artistic community here in Washington, DC. We thank the artists for sharing their talents, our collaborators for their partnership and above all, our patrons for their continued support and engagement.
