We've been working hard here at the Torggler and we're excited to bring you not one but TWO main exhibitions, this Friday, November 4th. 

"Benjamin Wigfall & Communications Village":

Explore the life and legacy of Richmond native Benjamin Wigfall (1930–2017) — artist, educator, and champion of arts equity. This exhibition, the first retrospective of Wigfall’s pioneering career, highlights the period from his early years in Virginia in the 1950s to his founding of Communications Village, a community art space in Kingston, New York, in the 1970s. Wigfall’s roots in Richmond and in Hampton, his stellar artistic achievements, and his lifelong commitment to building community are topics addressed in the exhibition, which paints an intimate portrait of his artwork, impact, and legacy. ✨

"Bio-Myths: Photographs by Nakeya Brown"

Nakeya Brown (b. 1988) is a Maryland-based photographer who has engaged the history and material culture of African American beauty products for the last ten years. Her artwork captures the spaces, textures, emotions, and memories of
these products and the women that used them, offering insights into African American histories and enduring questions of beauty, memory, and self-definition. ✨
