"Black Bone" is an exhibition of visual artists and poets sharing how those connected to Affrilachia tell the story of the United States through visual and written culture. Titled after the Affrilachian Poets' first literary anthology released in January, this month-long exhibition showcases artists and poets from states touched by the Appalachiansnotably Kentucky, North Carolina and Ohio. The term "Affrilachia" was originally coined by Frank X Walker and is, according to the Affrilachian Poets website, an ever-evolving cultural landscape poised to render the invisible visible." Affrilachia embraces a multicultural influence, a spectrum of people who consider Appalachia home and/or identify strongly with the trials and triumphs of being of this region.
