Voices in Print: New Jersey Black Women Printmakers Shaping the American Narrative

"Voices in Print" is a groundbreaking exhibition at Morven's Stockton Education Center, curated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder. This inaugural show is part of Re-Visioning America: 1776–2026, a bicentennial celebration of the United States that highlights diversity and showcases the work of female artists of color. The exhibition spotlights generations of Black women printmakers who have been excluded from the art world, advocating for visibility and social change through their work.

These artists, who are all connected to New Jersey, have pioneered new printmaking techniques and served as mentors and influences for others, creating powerful representations of the Black female body that reflect their experiences, identities, confidence, strength, beauty, and ideas. The project is a collaboration with various institutions and organizations, and is funded by the New Jersey Historic Trust and the Mercer County Cultural & Heritage Commission. The exhibition runs until February 28, 2027.
