Description
The exhibition 30 Americans showcases works by 30 emerging and established African American artists of the last three decades. This acclaimed exhibition focuses on issues of race, sexuality, gender and historical identity in contemporary culture while exploring the powerful influence of artistic legacy and community across generations.
Curated by Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw, the exhibit includes works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mickalene Thomas, Kara Walker, Carrie Mae Weems, and Kehinde Wiley. The exhibition features works from a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture, photography, video, and installation.
While some works probe the notion of racial and social difference in a candid manner, others evoke universal concepts and emotions using a sophisticated blend of visual beauty, humor, and irony.
Please be advised that some of the artwork in this exhibit confronts racial violence. These pieces may be triggering to audiences and may not be suitable for young children.
