ACA Galleries will present a memorial exhibition to celebrate the life and legacy of Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson who passed away on May 20, 2015. It will be on view through October 10.
Her work will be included in the forthcoming exhibition The Color Line: African American Artists and the Civil Rights in the United States at the Musee du quai Branly in Paris (October 4, 2016 - January 22, 2017).
Aminah Robinson was a pictorial historian of epic black migrations. She was an instrument of memory; gathering stories, totems and fragments of the past. Her belief in the African concept of Sankofa (understanding the past so that we can learn from its joys and mistakes) informs her work.Pictured: Sapelo: Hog Hammock Community, Cloth, buttons, string, mixed media, 23 ½ x 41 inches.
