Our Seats for the Table
February 2025 – Main Gallery
Ithaca Gallery Night debuts February 7th from 5:00-8:00 pm.
Discover “Our Seats for the Table,” a powerful art exhibit by Village at Ithaca Youth, Sarah Wolff, and Grace Azaula, honoring Black agents of freedom through reimagined found chairs. Each chair tells a story—featuring figures like Ida B. Wells, Trayvon Martin, and Shirley Chisholm. Students used their creativity, passion, and research skills to reclaim 17 chairs through decoupage, paint, and other techniques, transforming the chairs into testimonials and depictions of the Black agents of freedom who came before them. This project illustrates that while the table has been promised, it has not yet been given.
