Black Venus
April 6 @ 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM PDT
BLACK VENUS, curated by Aindrea Emelife is an exhibition that surveys the legacy of Black Women in visual culture – from fetishized, colonial-era caricatures to the present-day reclamation of the rich complexity of Black womanhood by 18 artists (of numerous nationalities and with birth years spanning 1942 to 1997). This exhibition is a celebration of Black beauty, an investigation into the many faces of Black femininity and the shaping of Black women in the public consciousness – then and now.
Join us for a conversation about Black Venus with curator Aindrea Emelife and artists Carla Williams and yétúndé olagbaju.
