“Layers by Armisey Smith” – curated by M.Gosser
“Art is also a means to communicate assumptions about depression in women of color…I choose to expose the organic and chemical disjunction of the mind/body by ‘layering’ a representational portrait. Layering is significant in conveying a sense that we are all layered and what matters is the strength of the substrate underneath. As we move forward in our lives, the layers become more complex; shifting in tone, intensity, and weight. Who we are shifts as well. The variation in the women depict who we can be, who we admire and love are important components in the creation of this body of work.” -Armisey Smith
Art & Artifacts of Newark is a pop-up gallery/shop created by M.Gosser as part of a curatorial residency with Index Art Center.

Too often, the importance of the enslaved woman’s role during slavery is overlooked- rendering her invisible/marginal within the historical landscape of American Chattel Slavery. This silencing of her history falls within a legacy of misogyny and anti-blackness that continues to erase and undervalue the voices and experiences of Black Women today. In an attempt to unveil the central role the enslaved woman’s work played in laying the foundations of the “New World”, this project uplifts her narratives as a dedication to her story and legacy. Through a cross- generational analysis of American Slavery, this project works to not only bring visibility to the alternative herstory laced within the fabric of our American beginnings, but also strives to capture how storytelling/sharing can be used to re-imagine our pasts as a means of reconstructing our Black Feminist/Womanist futures.

Historically, portraiture was utilized in service of the ruling classes, and some of the works in the exhibition explore the machinations of the powerful, touching upon the fraught histories of colonialism, slavery, American inference abroad, and eugenic practices.
