Exhibition - Movement: Black Art in Focus

About the Event

Movement, as both a physical and socio-political signifier, is fundamental to the Black American experience. It describes migration, both by choice and by force, of African Americans over several centuries, and as a political tool, movements for social change were led by Black visionaries for racial justice. As a mode of expression, Black artists have used movement in dance, music, and art– defining elements of American culture– to share their unique experiences and build a collective history.

This exhibition explores work by Black artists from the 20th and 21st centuries through the many definitions of movement, categorized in three parts: the spread of people and culture; drives for social and racial justice; and visual movement in art. Featured artists include Jacob Lawrence, Faith Ringgold, and Ernest Withers.
