Celestine Wilson Hughes

The Black Women's Project will be a two dimensional stain glass "installation sculpture" which integrates still and video images of mothers and daughters sharing their dreams into the installation. This new work will be created based on dialogues and interviews with mothers/caregivers and daughters in the African American Darby community where she lives. Celestine will also share her own story along side those of her subjects, discussing why women are important to the world and their dreams and aspirations. Through this art circle she hopes that the caretakers will remember how much power they still have, to not just manifest their dreams, but to support their daughters dreams as well. She will photograph and videotape each session. The mothers and daughters are not only the inspiration and subject of this work; their images and voices will make The Black Woman's Project speak volumes.
