A House Is Not a Home

Long Gallery Harlem is pleased to present A House Is Not a Home, a group exhibition tracing several decades of America’s 250-year history through the lenses of Black woman artists — a nod to the women, mothers, and matriarchs who bolster our homes with the emotional scaffolding that allows for identity creation and exploration.

Situated on Martha’s Vineyard throughout August 2026, A House Is Not a Home draws on the island’s layered history as a Black haven. By curating the works within the context of a home, a more intimate and embodied space than the traditional white cube gallery, asserts home as both a site for sharing a collective identity inspired by family, memory, and personal and cultural lineages and for investigation into rituals of belonging and historically unseen labor.
