Brooklyn Collective’s new art exhibit envisions the future for people of color

CHARLOTTE — A unique look a century into the future is on display in Charlotte.

The Brooklyn Collective’s newest art exhibition, The Next Hundred Years III, aims to provoke the question: what will 100 years from now look like for people of color?

The exhibit was inspired by young people that the co-curators, Tracey Murrell and rEN Dillard, encountered, and what they felt was to come based on current events.

“Some of it was really just not positive, and so we were able to show them, you know, what about this? Look at this -- look at this utopia that could be the next 100 years,” said Murrell.

The public is invited to an opening from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday at The Brooklyn Collective Gallery, 229 S Brevard Street.
