A new exhibition called "Dope Women in Media" is finally opening to honor how Detroit film, video and photographic artists' experimental and critical work shapes culture after a months-long delay.

Catch up quick: The College for Creative Studies (CCS) is hosting the exhibition, which was slated to open in January but had to be postponed and relocated from Detroit Artists Market (DAM).

DAM, a contemporary nonprofit gallery, experienced serious flooding in January, temporarily closing its space on Woodward Avenue in Midtown and disrupting programming.
The gallery crowdfunded more than $50,000 to offset losses, rent temporary space and plan exhibitions offsite.

If you go: The exhibition opened last month and runs through Aug. 1 at CCS' Center Galleries, 301 Frederick St.

Gallery hours are 11am-5pm Tuesday-Saturday.
