The Current is proud to announce its partnership with the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas. Amongst the other activations and exhibitions that will be held, the NAGB will hold a satellite space within Eccho, featuring "Hard Mouth," one of their past permanent exhibitions. Join us October 20th, 2022, from 7:00 pm - 12:00 am for the GRAND OPENING. “Hard Mouth: From the Tongue of the Ocean” explores our dialects in language and in the visual practices of intuitive or “outsider” artists, our “biggity” and brazen socio-political commentary, our representations of womanhood, and our transatlantic roots in West Africa along with our British colonial history that changed us forever. Our hard mouths have teeth to smile, to bite back, and to remind us of buried roots, but roots that endure all the same. Curated by Richardo Barrett and Natalie Willis, and originally created as part of the NAGB’s Permanent Exhibition programming in 2018, this is the second iteration of this exhibition and is presented for the Grand Opening of ECCHO at Baha Mar.
