April’s Hottest Exhibition: A Digital Tribute to Black Women’s Legacy
This April, the digital streets are buzzing with anticipation for Black Shero: C-Note Celebrates Black Women History Month, a month-long online exhibition that’s set to redefine how we celebrate Black women’s contributions to culture, art, and society. Spearheaded by Donald “C-Note” Hooker, the most prolific prison artist known to the scene, this exhibition is all about showcasing the depth, diversity, and dynamism of Black womanhood through a blend of visual and literary arts.
What’s “Black Shero” Bringing?
C-Note, a name that resonates within the walls of the prison system and beyond for his artistic genius, is throwing down a collection that’s nothing short of revolutionary. “Black Shero” is his ode to Black women, delivered through poems, articles, drawings, paintings, sound recordings, and videos, all crafted from his cell. This exhibition is a testament to the power of art to transcend physical confines and celebrate the unsung heroines of Black culture.
The C-Note Flavor: Real, Raw, Revolutionary
From the grip of incarceration, C-Note has been repping Black queens through his art for over 25 years. “Black Shero” is about bringing that raw, unfiltered tribute to the forefront. With pieces ranging from the critically acclaimed Journey to Afrofuturism—a nod to the Black queen Calafia who gave California its name—to the epic poem It Must End! (BLACK FEMALE BOYCOTTS AGAINST BLACK MEN IN THE PEN), C-Note’s work is a rollercoaster of emotions, perspectives, and truths. And yeah, he even throws in a bit of erotica with “Make A Thug Scream Like Prince,” proving that the exploration of Black women’s experiences knows no bounds.
Why “Black Shero” Hits Different
For the Hood Over Hollywood fam, “Black Shero” ain’t just another exhibition. It’s a movement. It’s about celebrating Black women in all their glory, complexity, and influence.
