Imagining Black Diasporas: 21st-Century Art and Poetics is now open. The exhibition finds aesthetic connections among 60 artists working in Africa, Europe, and the Americas, examining nearly a quarter century of production by Black artists.
On Thursday, January 9, LACMA curator Dhyandra Lawson and artists Edgar Arceneaux and Kambui Olujimi will be part of In Response: Imagining Black Diasporas, where they will discuss the exhibition and how contemporary artists and poets reimagine their cultural heritage, transforming it into vibrant sources of creativity and aesthetic connections.
