Through Lines features the work of Dr. Arturo Lindsay and Kelly Taylor Mitchell, the 2024 African Diaspora Art Museum of Atlanta Flowers x Seeds honorees and recipients of the inaugural recipients of the Nellie Mae Rowe Prize.

This exhibition highlights the work of these two dynamic artists, showcasing their remarkable artistic practices while also highlighting their interconnectedness and their profound ties to a broader diaspora narrative. Both Dr. Lindsay’s and Mitchell’s artistic practice builds on the concept of family, both on a personal and universal level. They draw inspiration from African indigenous spiritual practices and traditions that have emerged from the Black experiences in the Caribbean and the U.S. South.
