The art exhibit Magic, Mirth and Mortality: Musings on Black Motherhood will be on display throughout the month of April 2022 at the Oldest House Museum.

A collaboration between the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center, the St. Augustine Historical Society and the Crisp-Ellert Museum, the Magic, Mirth and Mortality: Musings on Black Motherhood exhibit is a multi-institutional exhibition and panel series inspired by the experiences of writer, curator, wife and mother Shawna Brooks.

The exhibit is centered on Brooks during her pregnancy and the premature birth of her son, Roosevelt. Her musings will be shown alongside artwork by Cheryl McCain, Marsha Hatcher and Tatiana Kitchen. The visual and literary component will be supplemented with local and national statistics on infant and maternal mortality rates that demonstrates inequities to health care access and draws attention to the institutional bias that Black women continue to face.

The exhibit will open during First Friday Art Walk from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, April 1, 2022.

Admission: $10 for adults; $9 for seniors and military, and $5 for students ages 7 to 17

When: 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. April 1-30, 2022
