“Souls of a Perserverant Generation,” a virtual exhibition featuring four Houston artists, opened at The Collective July 4.

Photographers Amaechina Blot, Sinden Collier, Irene Reece and Jamie Robertson explore the beauty, pain and memory of Black ancestry while alluding to the future of the next generation. They ask themselves through their art if they will have the same strength to push through these tumultuous times as did the generation before them.

The exhibition will be up through September 26. The Collective is open Thursdays through Saturday from 12 noon through 5 p.m., and viewing is available only by appointment until further notice during the COVID-19 pandemic.
