Lost Ann Arbor - New Paintings from Asha Jordan

"I recently put on a show in downtown Ann Arbor on Main Street called Being Black in America: Ann Arbor Edition. It entailed the black experience in its entirety. Lost Ann Arbor puts more focus on the history. It  includes pieces of artwork that focus on the Black history of Ann Arbor, the accomplishments, the stories of our ancestors, and how they have come to Ann Arbor and their experience." - Painter Asha Jordan

The paintings Asha created for Lost Ann Arbor below are also currently available to view in a virtual gallery from Saganverse.  A walkthrough video of this gallery was also created to enable a permanent record of the exhibit.

	North Side AA "Asian Americans were weaponized to oppress Black People, they were given loans to open businesses in Black communities. Even though Black People were not able to receive loans in their own community." - An Asian American
	The Lost
	Cousin Charlene "What did it look like to live in Ann Arbor as a black woman? BLACK WOMEN IN THE 80s SOMEWHERE IN ANN ARBOR."
