PROJECT FOR EMPTY SPACE | 6/19 @ 6pm | Noelle Lorraine Williams: Black Revolutionary Women

Join PES on Juneteenth for the opening reception of “Black Revolutionary Women,” a new exhibition by Noelle Lorraine Williams. Project for Empty Space presents Black Revolutionary Women: 250 Years of a Colony Within a Colony, a new exhibition and series of community events by Cycle 9 Artist In Residence Noelle Lorraine Williams. The exhibition opens on Juneteenth, 2026, with a public reception from 6:00–9:00 PM and will be on view through October 10, 2026, at 800 Mayor Kenneth Gibson Boulevard, Newark, New Jersey 07102. It highlights Black women’s resistance, survival, and freedom-making across the Americas, reframing dominant narratives of the American Revolution as the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Black Revolutionary Women: 250 Years of a Colony Within a Colony asks important questions about historical memory, including who is recognized as a revolutionary or freedom fighter in American history and whose stories are remembered and honored. The exhibition recognizes the documented 914 Black women who gained their freedom during the Revolutionary War and were evacuated with British forces to Nova Scotia, situating their experiences within the wider histories of colonialism, war, and emancipation. Through installation, performance, and collage, Noelle Lorraine Williams uses a multidisciplinary approach through her project Black Power! 19th Century, exploring how Black women and their descendants lived under systems that treated them as property within expanding Colonial economies. The exhibition also considers how New Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia were shaped by Dutch, Swedish, and British Colonial rule on Indigenous Lenapehoking land, and how enslaved Black women were forced into conditions Williams describes as a “colony within a colony,” where freedom was limited and often unstable. Williams, a public humanities specialist, artist, researcher, and historian, draws on extensive archival research, including thousands of “runaway” and “freedom seeker” advertisements and narratives from across the Americas. Her work engages histories of resistance throughout the Atlantic world, where Black women continually pursued freedom under multiple European colonial regimes. In the exhibition, Williams combines historical images, text, and materials such as thread, fabric, newspapers, photographs, archival artworks, and elements of popular culture. She brings together both official historical imagery and forms associated with women’s craft to retell stories of everyday resistance and freedom-making that are often left out of traditional history. “Thousands of Black women in the Americas stood up to the world’s most powerful empires for their freedom during slavery. For this 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence I am proud to create a space of art, words, and song for the public to experience, share and learn about the adversities these women faced, freedoms they fought for and how that connects to our present day.” – Noelle Lorraine Williams The exhibition is the culmination of Project for Empty Space’s two-year Artist In Residence program, which supports artists through long-term development, public engagement, and experimentation. The program is designed to build meaningful connections between artists and communities, encouraging new artistic work and dialogue around social equity and shared experience.
