For Liberation and For Life: The Legacy of Black Dimensions in Art

For Liberation and For Life celebrates the 50th anniversary of Black Dimensions in Art, Inc. (BDA)—a volunteer-led group of creatives and activists founded in Schenectady in 1975. BDA presents this exhibition in partnership with the Albany Institute, which hosted the organization’s first major museum show—Black Artists in Historical Perspective—in 1976. For five decades, BDA has uplifted the art and artists of the African Diaspora through exhibitions, workshops, and programs throughout New York’s Capital Region, creating vital platforms for Black artists across generations.
