To celebrate Black History Month in February 2022, Tulsa's Gathering Place park unveiled a new art installation entitled Dear Black Future, an immersive visual art exhibit with a focus on honoring Black history through inspiring a Black future. The concept of this installation was captured by visual anthropologist and Tulsa Artist Fellow Marlon Hall.

Dear Black Future is now traveling to public-facing spaces around Tulsa. The artists, filmmakers, and musical artists led by Marlon Hall will gather at Inheritance Juicery's Downtown Tulsa location on Wednesday, June 15 from 6:30-7:30pm for an artist talk and film screening.

Dear Black Future is an ethnographic video and photo exhibition with a QR code-led installation in which attendees can hear stories from John Burroughs Elementary School students who share their dreams. Large photographs of the students reflect a promising Black future that honors the past. Additionally, the installation features a film, instructions for the public to write a four-word letter to a Black future and a series of interviews featuring subjects who speak on heritage and letters.
