Description
Imagining Black Diasporas: 21st-Century Art and Poetics finds aesthetic connections among 60 artists working in Africa, Europe, and the Americas. The exhibition and its catalogue are among the first to examine nearly a quarter of a century of production by Black artists. The project debuts new acquisitions for LACMA and expands the Pan-African exhibition canon, historically focused on the Black Atlantic, by showcasing artists working along the Pacific Rim. Nearly 70 works of painting, sculpture, photography, works on paper, and time-based media are organized into four themes: speech and silence, movement and transformation, imagination, and representation.

 

Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Fridays, 11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Saturdays and Sundays 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
