"Five/5ths Collection" Description

Five contemporary artists, each spiritual leaders in their own right, have come together to tell the story of FIVE/5ths, an audio/visual exhibition that is meant to offer an alternative perspective on the way we see and appreciate Black art and by extension, ourselves.

Each artist represents a piece of the Black mind -- from the political activists, to the free-spirited wanderers, to the humming voices of song alike -- FIVE/5ths is a testament that all spiritual expression is art and can live harmoniously. Historically, we have been dispersed on more levels than one, walking around this earth in pieces, chained to the idea that we are fractioned.

FIVE/5ths, presented by TunnelVision and the artist family it represents, is about ascending to a place where we are now united, a place where we are now whole, a place where we are now one.
