Indigo Magic is an exhibition that uses indigo as a lens to witness the myriad of ways in which indigenous African content and traditions show up in African American contemporary art forms. Indigo is more than a hue. Its magical essence is drawn from its history and its alchemy. Indigo is evident in the documentation of the Pharaohs in ancient Egypt, the royal courts in Nigeria, and the Tuareg nomads of Northern Senegal. It has been used as medicine, artist paint, and cosmetic embellishments. It is in the music, the melodies, and the mood. In this case indigo is the muse of the artist directed by its connection to the spirit of Africa.

This exhibition will highlight the talent of established regional artists who have become the creative fabric of artistic scene for the area. Indigo Magic is a group show that will exhibit at the Frederick Douglass Isaac Myers Museum in Fells Point, Baltimore, Maryland, beginning May and ending in July of 2016.
