Amiri Farris

Westward Vibrations: Dance of the Exodusters explores the American West through the lens of Gullah Geechee heritage, African diasporic traditions, and Native American influences. Created by interdisciplinary artist and scholar Amiri Farris, the exhibition challenges common myths of the West while amplifying voices often left out of its history.

Through bold compositions layered with expressive drips, rich colors, and textured imagery, Farris reimagines the journey of the Exodusters—Black migrants who moved westward during Reconstruction. These movement—infused works evoke rhythm, dance, and visual storytelling, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of migration, resilience, and cultural memory.

March 24 through October 5, 2025, in the Bank of America Concourse Shop- a venue for regional artists whose works share parallel themes with featured exhibitions.
