"My Lord, What a Morning" By Aminah Robinson

OHIO - Acknowledging and celebrating the city's bicentennial, the Columbus Museum of Art is offering several programs and exhibitions through 2012. The series will kick off with a retrospective of noted hometown artist and storyteller Aminah Robinson: "Street Talk and Spiritual Matters," a record of the people, experiences and culture of the Near East Side.
Familiar and new works are included in the exhibit. All underscore Robinson's ability to capture physical, emotional and spiritual links to place. Identity is found through community, ancestors and history. The Ghanaian term sankofa - which, translated from the Akan language, roughly means "to go back and take that which you have forgotten" - directs much of her work. [link]
