“Against All Odds!” International Art Exhibition runs from February 3 – April 30, 2024. Art for Black History Month and beyond. This video inspires people of all cultures to support the arts. We celebrate the determined spirits who rose above hatred and discrimination to pave the way for future generations. This is an opportunity for us all to honor strength within Black people who against all odds found a way to enhance humanity.
“Against All Odds!” has the purpose of educating and inspiring people. It celebrates Black invention, creativity, and the rich wellspring of African American culture. It honors the determined spirits who rose above hatred and discrimination to pave the way for future generations.
Throughout history, African Americans (and all the diaspora*) have faced immense adversity and obstacles due to racism, discrimination, and oppressive systems designed to limit their potential. Despite this, Black people have made remarkable achievements and contributions in every field – from science and technology, to arts and culture, to business, politics and more.
“My name is Timothy Myers, I am a Visual Artist from Hanover, Pennsylvania. The majority of my work is figurative in nature, employing a wide variety of mediums and techniques. Stylistically, I aim to capture elements of realism punctuated by expressive strokes and abstraction, often bringing the viewers eye to a focal point in the piece. My work explores the thematic elements of what it means to be human and the indomitable strength of the human spirit.
A recurring theme in my work is perseverance. I find immense inspiration and beauty in the will of the repressed, and it is my goal to capture this essence in my work. By doing so, is to keep dialogue open and to ask important and sometimes difficult questions.” – Timothy Myers
