As the nation observes Black History Month, Beyond Emancipation acknowledges that sometimes it’s tough to keep hope alive. But, even more, the show celebrates the fact that hope has always been there and always will be.   

"The theme of 'Houdini's Box' is all-encompassing," explains Jymi Bolden, director of Art Beyond Boundaries Gallery. He put this exhibition together to showcase a diverse range of photographers working with film and digital techniques in what he calls "a magic act."

He put the exhibition together to showcase a diverse range of photographers working with film and digital techniques. Bolden calls the show "Houdini's Box," he says, because photography is a magic act, freezing a moment in time forever and even captures the soul right out of the body. The exhibition continues Monday-Saturday through Nov. 14.
