Trump’s cultural fist has knuckled down on African-American art and museums. Including depictions of history in USA. In the autumn a famous photograph of the horrors of slavery historically used by abolitionists was removed from display. . . In such a cultural desert-climate, it is good to see the exhibition reviewed below. We strongly recommend progressives in the Washington DC area see it before January 11 2026; or those in the California or Mississippi area when it exhibits there. . . Unusually perhaps – contrary to the usual self-promoting ‘hype’ on museum websites – the pages at the AGA are very informative. The National Gallery Art (AGA) ‘blurb’ at its website announces that the exhibition “considers photography’s impact on a cultural and aesthetic movement that celebrated Black history, identity, and beauty”: “The first exhibition to consider photography’s impact on a cultural and aesthetic movement that celebrated Black history, identity, and beauty. Uniting around civil rights and freedom movements of the 1960s and 1970s, many visual artists, poets, playwrights, musicians, photographers, and film-makers expressed hope and dignity through their art. These creative efforts became known as the Black Arts Movement. Photography was central to the movement. . . " H -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
