Storytellers: Truth Be Told!
Storytellers: Truth Be Told!

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) November 18, 2014 -- Liberian-American mixed media artist Nora Musu has been selected to participate in Women of Visions’ “Storytellers: Truth Be Told!” art exhibit at the Pittsburgh Center For The Arts, running November 21, 2014 to February 1, 2015.

Hosted in conjunction with presentations from the Craftsman and Fiberarts guilds of Pittsburgh, “Storytellers” celebrates and expands upon the West African tradition of griots passing on historical knowledge from village to village and griot to griot. More than 20 women artists from the African diaspora will present their “storytelling” works, passing along their own historical and experiential truths through unique and modern visualizations.

Musu’s own cultural influences are evident in her eclectic use of mixed media, movement, texture and large landscapes to create pieces that are reminiscent of ancient African stone and wooden sculpture. The exhibit will feature her “Mah Rhythms” piece. The seven-foot wide, four-panel installation features her signature three-dimensional sculptural relief effect created with an innovative blend of acrylic polymers and iron and copper particles enhanced by a process of rusting and patina.

“‘Mah Rhythms’ is a celebration of the initiation of young girls from the Sande bush of the Mah ethnic group of Liberia,” explained Musu, whose art often explores the feminine form and power. “This is the only ethnic group on the western coast of Africa with a secret society run exclusively by women. As a feminist, I feel a personal connection with these women, or Zoes, who control and perform the ceremony of initiation.”

Presented by Women of Visions, Inc., the exhibit is juried by Samuel Black, president of the Association of African American Museums and Director of African-American Programs, Senator John Heinz History Center, and internationally acclaimed artist and educator, Ann Tanksley.

The "Storytellers: Truth be Told!" art exhibit runs November 21 through February 1, 2015 at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, located at 6300 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA. The opening reception takes place November 21 from 5:30 to 9:00pm.
