Jun 20, 2025
From: 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Experience an evening of reflection and artistic expression during Juneteenth weekend with the opening of a powerful new exhibition exploring themes of faith, resilience and community. Presented by Hampton Art Lovers, the showcase is inspired by the iconic African American hymn “Take My Hand, Precious Lord.”
Hampton Art Lovers Presents Take My Hand, Precious Lord will be held on Friday, June 20 at the Historic Ward Rooming House in Overtown. The exhibition features works by Solomon Adufah and Tasanee Durrett, whose pieces draw on the emotional and spiritual resonance of the hymn to express strength in vulnerability. Adufah’s paintings reflect personal memory and cultural identity, capturing moments of joy and connection in both Accra, Ghana and African American communities in Chicago. His Sunday Funday series highlights familial love, celebration and a desire for peace and belonging.
The opening invites visitors to engage with artwork that honors Black heritage and collective healing, offering a space for cultural appreciation and introspection.
