Prospect.5 collaboration with a BLACK Creative's Guide

Prospect is proud to partner with a BLACK creative's guide during Prospect. 5. This partnership serves as our inaugural Prospect Community Connection, a collaboration with a fellow New Orleans-based organization designed to showcase its expertise and broaden Prospect's audience. a BLACK creative's guide will be leading guided tours every other Friday of the Prospect exhibition. These meet-ups are specifically for melanated people.

a BLACK creative's guide is led by New Orleans native Ifátùmínínú Bamgbàlà Arẹ̀sà. “It's not just a tour,” she says of the initiative. “It’s an experience. It is an unapologetically BLACK initiative that creates a safe haven for participants by focusing on Building, Learning, Art, Collaboration, and Kinship. Groups convene, take up space and have relaxed discourse about art from their perspectives.”
