"The Calling: The Transformative Power of African American Doll and Puppet Making" is an exhibition of dolls and puppets created by senior African American multi-media artists. These artists came of age in strong African American communities during the height of the Civil Rights Movement. They are storytellers who use various forms of mixed media to chronicle the history, identity, and culture of their communities. These artists recognize that their works are healing and transformative for themselves and for the communities they represent.
