What is a home? How do we view the communities that shaped us into who we are today?

For Black History Month, students from the FIT Black Student Union present Love Thy Neighbor’Hood, an exhibition that illustrates the dynamics of home and what that means to each artist. From an outside perspective, many predominantly black neighborhoods are viewed as dangerous and scary places, where nothing good ever comes about. These artists are challenging that narrative through their art. The exhibit features works of varying mediums created by people of a wide-range of backgrounds across the diaspora.
