What: She Gathers Me - Networks Among Black Women Writers
Where: Sharon Forks
When: On display from February 25-March 27
"She Gathers Me" examines the connections found within intimate correspondences, personal projects, and speaking engagements and furthers our understanding of the interconnectedness of Black women writers beyond their published works. The exhibit features luminaries like Alice Walker, Audre Lorde, Pearl Cleage, Tayari Jones, and others. "She Gathers Me" is a colorful mosaic of six upright banners exploring the insights, experiences and relationships of the featured authors with each panel dedicated to a specific aspect of their community: Collective; Sister Writers; Dialogue; and Remembrance so their works are never lost. 

This exhibit is provided in partnership with the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library at Emory University and Georgia Public Library Service.
