About the exhibition

Spanning five decades featuring works by Gerald Williams, Wadsworth Jarrell, Jae Jarrell, Sherman Beck, Jeff Donaldson, Omar Lama, Ernie Barnes, photographic works from the Kavi Gupta archive by James P. Ball, James Van Der Zee, and Carl Van Vechten, print material by Emory Douglas along with other historic ephemera this exhibition traces a lineage of artists whose practices assert the power of image-making as both cultural archive and radical form. Moving across photography, painting, and print, the presentation reveals an intergenerational continuum of aesthetic innovation and social consciousness, each work a testament to the artists’ role in shaping and preserving the visual language of Black life and furthering Black liberation.
