We Don’t Wither, featuring seven local artists at the Muhammad Ali Center

The Muhammad Ali Center is proud to announce a new temporary exhibit, We Don’t Wither, featuring seven local artists. Created to engage our community, We Don’t Wither examines the intersection of art and activism. The artists showcased in this exhibit have created art or chosen from their art pieces that respond to current socio-cultural and socio-political situations, lived experiences, and related current events – to see our world and our community through their unique perspectives. 

It is our objective to celebrate the often-unrecognized experiences, opinions, feelings, and perspectives of those who work, create, and fight in our city; to share their artwork and views with our visitors; and to provide a space for conversation and reflection.  

Through a rich tapestry of diverse pieces, this exhibition showcases the intersecting and profound role of women artists and women activists, particularly the leadership of BIPOC women, in social justice movements. The lived experiences of these women artists provide a window into the soul of our community—a community deeply wounded by racism and injustice, but a community striving for healing. 

The Muhammad Ali Center is proud to share space with these artists and commits to continuing to build community-engaged exhibitions and programs. As you explore each piece, we hope that you will consider and contemplate the responsibility we all share in building a more just and inclusive Louisville for all.  

We Don’t Wither is NOW OPEN at the Muhammad Ali Center and FREE with the price of admission. It will run now through December 18, 2023.
