Co-curated by Zehra Zehra and Kilo Kish, "American Gurl" is an ongoing curatorial project featuring work that explores all shades of American dreaming. As a collection of eight films by intergenerational artists, the project explores curiosity around the perspectives and nuances within the Black feminine experience and relationships with beauty, success, freedom, and power in America.
"American Gurl" is on view from October 4, 2024 through April 13, 2025, here at the Gantt.

About Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts + Culture
The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture is a multi-disciplinary arts institution located in the heart of Charlotte, NC. Established in 1974, the Gantt Center's mission is to present, preserve, and celebrate excellence in the art, history, and culture of African Americans and those of African descent through visual and literary arts, dance music, film, educational programs, theatre productions, and community outreach. The Gantt Center features fine art exhibitions from around the world. It is home to the nationally celebrated John and Vivian Hewitt Collection of African-American Art, which was generously donated by Bank of America and is accessible online.
Named for Charlotte civic leader and former mayor Harvey Bernard Gantt, the Gantt Center is housed in an iconic, award-winning structure designed by architect Philip Freelon, co-designer of the Smithsonian National Museum for African American History and Culture (NMAAHC).
Harvey B. Gantt Center is supported, in part, by the Infusion Fund and its generous donors. The Gantt is located at Levine Center for the Arts and is supported by the North Carolina Arts Council and the Knight Foundation.
