Traveling exhibition Esoteric Lore continues when it’s next stop at the Auburn Ave Research Library in Atlanta, Ga opens tonight. Esoteric Lore: Visual Storytelling is a growing collective of eight female artists sharing empowering artwork that engages and responds to one sided and often times negative representations of black women in mainstream media. The collective features an array of talented painters, photographers, videographers and musicians including Corinne Stevie Francilus, Taryn Lee Crenshaw, Iman Person, Nikita Gale, Michelyah, Elizah Turner, Crystal E.
