Rainbow Serpent curated this event featuring the work of 25 Black visual artists, in addition to a live DJ, free food, interactive workshops, and musical performances. In addition to highlighting the wealth of artistic talent in Pittsburgh, the event also served to celebrate Juneteenth, which commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and became a federal holiday in June 2021.
