Details

Posing Beauty in African American Culture explores the contested ways in which African and African American beauty have been represented in historical and contemporary contexts through a diverse range of media including photography, film, video, fashion, advertising, and other forms of popular culture such as music and the Internet. Throughout the Western history of art and image making, the relationship between beauty and art has become increasingly complex within contemporary art and popular culture. This exhibition challenges contemporary understanding of beauty by framing notions of aesthetics, race, class, and gender within art, popular culture, and politics.
