YoloArts Juneteenth Celebration of Freedom planned to honor African American women heroes – Woodland Daily Democrat

YoloArts in collaboration with Women in Leadership, Davis (WiLD), will host a Celebration of Freedom and closing reception of the Art. In. Action exhibit on June 19, 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Gibson House grounds in Woodland.

This celebration offers the last chance to view the powerful exhibit honoring African American women heroes, civil rights leaders and victims of police brutality through artwork.

Music by DJ Vallas, refreshments and art activities including Juneteenth sidewalk chalk drawing and collage creations will be offered. The outdoor gathering will also include a short program with WiLD co-founder Dzokerayi Minya; WiLD member, Sarah Zimmerman; and spoken word presentations by WiLD members and mentees.

WiLD is a group supporting women leaders, African American women and other Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). It was founded out of the desire to bring opportunities to BIPOC young women and aims to break the double glass ceiling that exists for brown girls.

The Art. In. Action exhibition artwork can also be viewed online at https://yoloarts.org/online-galleries/#current.
