Collective Care Companion for Black Life
The installation is a companion piece in a year-long project of Mississippi Museum of Art’s Center for Art and Public Exchange, or CAPE, with national artist-in-residence Shani Peters leading the charge. Focusing on the support and celebration of Black mothers and caretakers, the public display mirrors the 46-page booklet, “Collective Care Companion for Black Life,” published and distributed at Jackson Black businesses, wellness spaces and at the art museum as part of the collaborative project.
