"The Renaissance"
A Three Day Exhibition At the African World Festival
curated by Duffe and Three One Magazine
We warmly invite you to explore The Renaissance—a thoughtfully curated gallery exhibition, by Duffe and Three One Magazine, that celebrates the vibrancy, depth, and imagination of Detroit’s Black art scene. This powerful showcase features bold and compelling works by local Black artists whose creative voices embody the spirit of the city’s cultural resurgence. Each piece on display not only reflects Detroit’s dynamic present but also honors the rich legacies and lived experiences that shape its artistic future.
Take a moment to explore the distinct disciplines and creative approaches of each artist featured in the gallery. We encourage you to engage with their stories by reading their biographies on site—each one offering deeper insight into the inspirations, identities, and intentions behind the work.
We’ve carefully selected 15 remarkable artists whose practices span a range of disciplines—including painting, photography, illustration, and multidisciplinary art. Each artist brings a unique perspective and voice, contributing to a collective narrative that celebrates the depth and diversity of Detroit’s creative community.
