About the Exhibition
🖤 BLACK NEW YORK🖤
This is not a history lesson, not a retrospective. This is a poem—layered, emotional, and alive. It is a chorus of Black voices creating through joy, memory, grief, resistance, and imagination. In subtractive color theory, black is the culmination of all color. So too is Black New York—not absence but accumulation. It is a body of work that reflects the complexity and beauty of the diaspora in the city that shapes us all.
