About this event
"The Time is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure"
The Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA)
Friday, January 17, 11:30am ET
Members: $8
Join us for a visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art to experience the powerful and timely exhibition "The Time is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure".
This exhibition features 28 Black and African diasporic contemporary artists who use figurative painting, drawing and sculpture to illuminate and celebrate the nuance and richness of Black contemporary life. Traveling to the Philadelphia Museum of Art from the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Black and African artists in this exhibition work in the U.S. and the U.K. The more than 60 contemporary works featured in this exhibition unfold around three core themes: Double Consciousness, Past and Presence, and Our Aliveness.
We will view this exhibition individually and at our leisure. Guided tours are offered at 12 noon and last one hour for an extra fee. After viewing the exhibition, we plan to meet up at the ”Café” for a casual lunch (self-pay) and a chance to discuss the show.
Free audio tours are also available: Please make sure to bring your headphones to listen to the tour on your own mobile device. For the best experience, download the free Smartify app on your iOS or Android mobile device.
You can also take advantage of the virtual tour organized by Women's Connection and led by Dr. John Immerwahr on Thursday, January 16th. Click this LINK for more information.
