Now in its seventh year, Night Light returns for an expanded, two-night festival that will blanket SOMArts’ postindustrial space in luminous art installations, durational and time-based performances, and digital and cinematic projections. The galleries open at 8:30 pm on both nights. Performances begin at 9 pm and last until the event ends at 12:30 am.
In conjunction with Night Light, SOMArts is proud to present The Black Woman is God: Divine Revolution, on view in SOMArts’ Main Gallery July 20–August 26, 2017. The Black Woman is God and Night Light will present a combined total of over 100 Bay Area visual and performing artists challenging Eurocentric notions of God and creating new myths for collective liberation.
This year Night Light centers a series of robust, sometimes overlapping performances and site-specific art installations that activate SOMArts with the spirit of activism and spiritual transformation. Night Light invites audience members to engage an artistic conversation about the divinity, creativity and resilience of all people. As with The Black Woman is God, Night Light exhibiting and performing artists create new myths in order to proudly set the scope for their own existence.
A total space activation of the Center at 934 Brannan Street, Night Light utilizes SOMArts’ indoor space and grounds, including the garden path, street-side loading bay, theater, Bay Gallery and Main Gallery to display a multitude of applications of light in art.
Curated by Karen Seneferu and Melorra Green, The Black Woman is God: Divine Revolution celebrates the Black female presence as the highest spiritual form and challenges viewers to do the same. Over 60 Bay Area artists refocus the audience on the vital contributions of Black women as artists and social change-makers throughout history. For more information about The Black Woman is God, as well as a distinct list of visual artists whose work will also be on view in that Main Gallery during Night Light, visit https://www.somarts.org/theblackwomanisgod2017.
