NCIS:

actress
CCH
Pounder
has made
a name
for
herself
in more
than
just one
discipline:
her
talents
extend
to the
world of
art
collecting,
too.
Pounder
selected
pieces
from her
collection
that
focused
on black
women
through
the
lenses
of
feminine
beauty,
identity
and
power.
"It
opens up
a
conversation
about
art and
women,"
Sarah
Clunis,
gallery
director
of
Xavier
University
said of
the
exhibit.
"For
black
women to
be able
to enter
a museum
and have
a
conversation
about
fine art
and to
be able
to see
themselves
in it,
that's
important."
“We
are
extremely
excited
to have
this
much
anticipated
collection
at the
Charles
H.
Wright
Museum,”
says
Neil
Barclay,
CEO of
the
Charles
H.
Wright
Museum
of
African
American
History.
Located
at 315
East
Warren
Avenue
in
Midtown
Detroit,
the
exhibition
will be
on
display
from
January
28
through
April 5,
2020.
Details
for
public
programming
in
support
of the
exhibition
have
been
released.
