Aljira is very pleased to host one of the community events in the city-wide birthday celebration of 75 years for Amiri Baraka. This exhibition marks a rare opportunity to view 22 of Baraka’s unique mixed-media drawings from the past 10 years.

“Many people are amazed to find out that poet, writer, activist Amiri Baraka also makes visual art,” writes Guest Curator Kellie Jones.

Join us in recognizing Baraka’s life-long activism in politics and the arts. This exhibition is sponsored by the National Black United Fund. For more information, please call (973) 698-9504 or visit www.amirib75.com.
