DESCRIPTION:Watermelon Woman is not only the first African-American lesbian film but it 
 is also a platform for deeper dialog about the importance of archiving 
 African American history - in particular African-American queer history. 
 The Watermelon Woman 3.0 exhibition is critical for this moment in time 
 because the issues addressed by the film twenty years ago are still 
 impacting the queer and trans communities of color. Through the exhibition, 
 public programming, and artist talks, we want to uncover the taboo about 
 Black and POC queer women: how we love, who we love, and 
 beauty\n\npolitics. Our goals are for these conversations and interactions 
 to spark new resources for queer history, news and empowering philosophies 
 to become accessible through a multitude of mediums and ensure the 
 intellectual knowledge is created by and for queer people of color to 
 learn, discover, and continue our powerful history and continued 
 resilience.\n\nThe Watermelon Woman 3.0 is an interactive program where 
 academic partners, artists of various mediums and creative technologies, 
 and socially conscious venue partners unite to pay homage, celebrate and 
 highlight the cultural relevance of the legendary film, Watermelon Woman by 
 filmmaker, Cheryl Dunye. We are queer women identified curators of color 
 who have a passion for the empowerment of queer and trans lives, as well as 
 creating space for artists of various skill levels and ability. Our goals 
 are to educate people about the film, investigate modern day\n\nwatermelon 
 women, the mammy figure, and explore the issues and work being done in the 
 Black queer and trans movements.\n\nCuratorial Team: Melonie Green, Melorra 
 Green and Dorothy Santos\n\nFeatured Artists:   Indira Allegra, Eliza 
 Barrios, Bushmama Africa, Wanda K. Whitaker, Ramekon O’Arwisters, Jassmyn 
 Fowlkes, Yetunde Olagbaju, Tim Roseborough, Ajuan Mance\n\n
