Queens Botanical Garden (QBG) is featuring an outdoor exhibit by AnkhLave Arts Alliance, Inc., which aims to highlight Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) in contemporary art. AnkhLave selected six Queens-based female artists of color, the 2020 AnkhLave Garden Fellows, to create site-specific art installations throughout the Garden. They consist of five immigrant artists and one first-generation US citizen. While presenting artists and art-making in a nontraditional setting like QBG, AnkhLave aims to promote BIPOC artists who represent and reflect the Garden’s diverse audience. This project is made possible by the Queens Council on the Arts with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the New York City Council.
