"Mbire
3," a painting by alumnus Keba Konte,

= Afrika: Visions of the Diaspora," a Student Center Art Gallery

diaspora. Their works explore the black experience in North America as
it relates to African ideologies and legacies. The exhibit, curated by
students Robert Melton and Andrea Ali, opens Thursday, Feb. 5, and runs
through Tuesday, March 2, in the Cesar Chavez Student Center Art Gallery,
located on the Terrace Level. An opening reception takes place from 5

a.m. to 6 p.m. and Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission
