Meditation on Care

Join artists Amber Doe, Bekezela Mguni, and Alisha B Wormsley for a closing ritual at Contemporary Craft, co-hosted by Sibyls Shrine. Rooted in the spirit of Revolutionary Care, this gathering centers Black femme care, sovereignty, and collective healing as both practice and offering. Through guided ritual, participants are invited into a shared space of reflection, grounding, and intention-setting—honoring ancestral knowledge, embodied presence, and the power of communal care. Drawing from each artist’s interdisciplinary practice, the ritual weaves together gesture, voice, and spiritual inquiry to hold space for restoration and affirmation. As a closing to the exhibition, this event offers a moment to gather, witness, and carry forward the exhibition’s call: to imagine and enact care as a liberatory force, sustained through community, ritual, and the ongoing work of remembrance. Sibyls Shrine is a network of Black artists who m/other in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania—and beyond. We are an art collective and residency program rooted in our own radical care, rest and support. Sibyls Shrine is a homage to the Sibyls, the original priestesses of the African goddess Mami Wata. The term was used to name the divine status, quality, and nature of the matriarchal guardians. Sibyls Shrine was created in 2019 by Alisha B Wormsley, developed with Jessica Gaynelle Moss, in partnership with Shiftworks Community + Public Arts. https://www.sibylsshrine.com
