Lost Love: A Journey of Resilience

A Widows Storytelling Exhibit

The exhibition focuses on the narratives of black women who have lost their spouses, many before the age of 40. Through photography and interviews, it showcases the unique love stories of these women, the events leading to their widowhood, and their life paths since that pivotal moment. 

The aim is to immerse visitors in a sensory-rich experience, delving into themes of resilience, grief, new beginnings, strength, and perseverance. Attendees will listen to the women's stories, contemplate their own encounters with grief, and ponder resilience as a remarkable quality. 

This exhibit aims to shed light on the journey of widows, highlighting the complexities of widowhood. Young black widows worldwide hold the memories of their loved ones and their own stories. Their victories, endurance, resilience, and strength deserve to be shared.
