Home / Gallery / Exhibitions / All Power: Visual Legacies of the Black Panther Party

All Power: Visual Legacies of the Black Panther Party

On view: April 20 – June 10, 2018

Opening reception: April 20
Members preview & tour 5pm | Public opening 6pm

Endia Beal Sabrina and Katrina, 2015 from “Am I What You’re Looking For?”

All Power: Visual Legacies of the Black Panther Party is drawn from a book of the same name and showcases a select group of contemporary black artists, including emerging and internationally acclaimed practitioners, women and men spanning twenty-two to seventy years of age, who have been informed or influenced by The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense.

Formed in 1966 by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, two students at Laney College in Oakland, California, and active for less than twenty years (1966–1982), the Panthers indelibly pierced the public consciousness through its visual code and social platforms. 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Seattle chapter, the first outside of California, and PCNW’s presentation is timed to that.

Exhibiting Artists: Maikoiyo Alley-Barnes, Endia Beal, Sadie Barnette, Bruce Bennett, Ouidakathryn Bryson, Howard Cash, Emory Douglas, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Kris Graves, Ayana V. Jackson, Christopher Paul Jordan, Kambui Olujimi, Lewis Watts, Carrie Mae Weems, Dr. Deborah Willis, Hank Willis Thomas, and Robert Wade.
