“Refraction: New Photography of Africa and its Diaspora” Exhibition
Steven Kasher Gallery
This event has ended.
Refraction presents some of the most exciting voices from the newest generation of photographic artists of African descent. These artists portray Black bodies in acts of cultural mediation. They revive the traditional African rites of masking, costuming, quilting, body ornamentation and invocation of spirits. They refract those rituals through the lenses of contemporary art practices such as performative self portraiture, collage, montage and digital manipulation.
The exhibition is curated by Steven Kasher Gallery Director Cassandra Johnson and Niama Safia Sandy, Independent Curator and Cultural Anthropologist.
