When names were erased, languages fractured, and geographies torn apart, Black people learned to sing their memory into survival. Songs When names were erased, languages fractured, and geographies torn apart, Black people learned to sing their memory into survival. Songs We Never Forgot proposes that memory is not only spoken — it is carried. In the sway of a body. In the cadence of speech. In patterns woven into cloth. In rituals repeated without explanation. In grief that learned to harmonize and joy that refused extinction.

Presented by Kokopelli Gallery, this group exhibition brings together the compelling practices of Ayoola Gbolahan, Stacey Ravvero, Musa Ganiyy, Olubunmi Atere, Dare Herald, Ugochukwu Emebiriodo, Sadiq Ajibola Williams, and Hassan Abiodun. Through painting, mixed media, and visual storytelling, these artists explore “song” as an embodied archive — a technology older than writing and immune to erasure.

This exhibition invites you to experience song beyond sound — as gesture, texture, memory, and inheritance.
