As part of the Cultural District Gallery Crawl, the August Wilson African American Cultural Center invites you to explore three powerful exhibitions that celebrate storytelling, imagination, and connection across generations and continents. Join us for an evening of discovery as art fills the building and conversations unfold across our galleries.
Peju Alatise: I Will Belong to Only Me anchors the experience as the first U.S. solo survey of the acclaimed Nigerian artist, bringing together two decades of work across sculpture, installation, film, and text that center African girlhood, imagination, and self-definition. Also on view is Lavett Ballard: a Rose is a Rose is a Rose, a poetic collection of mixed-media assemblages exploring Black femininity, materiality, and memory through reclaimed materials and layered historical imagery. Completing the evening is Picture This, a vibrant, all-ages exhibition highlighting intergenerational connection through photography, personal recordings, and interactive experiences rooted in everyday life across Pittsburgh.
Whether you are continuing your gallery crawl or making AWAACC your first stop, this evening offers an opportunity to engage with art that invites reflection, dialogue, and new ways of seeing.
