📷#ArtIsAWeapon #ExhibitClosings Today, December 31, is the last day to visit the "Seeing Harlem" exhibit at the Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. State Office Building. Info: ogs.ny.gov/plaza-events-harlem Address: 163 West 125th Street, #Harlem, #NYC 2nd Floor Art Gallery and Community Room Hours: 12pm-7pm. @plazaeventsharlem If you can't see the exhibit in person, make a virtual visit: ⤵️ empirestateplaza.ny.gov/virtual-visit-nys-harlem-art-collection. 'The residential boom of the Great Migration made way for a new collective creativity, ripening a neighborhood for the most unprecedented cultural explosion in American History and solidifying Harlem as an icon of inspiration. To this day, artists pay homage to Harlem with their extraordinary vision, creating undisputed contributions to American Art. From the 1920s through the mid-1970s, the social and historical documentation of the neighborhood became an art in its own right, depicting not only a very personal experience and the evolution of the artistic community, but also the community at large. Still, in a time of rampant racism and inequality, the artists were largely underrepresented and even unseen... From the crafted poses in studio portraiture to candid street photography, New York State’s Harlem Art Collection exemplifies some of the significant eyes and voices that chronicle a community in Seeing Harlem. Artists on view include #AnthonyBarboza, #DawoudBey, #RogerCabán, #AdgerCowans, #RoyDeCarava, #LouisDraper, #JimmieMannas, Ted Pontiflet, George L. Robinson, Ed Sherman, #CoreenSimpson, #JamesVanDerZee, and Shawn Walker." #SeeingHarlem #HarlemHistory #HarlemGirl #BlackHarlemLives @blackharlemlives #Photography #HarlemDocumentarians #TraScapades #BlackGirlArtGeeks (at Adam Clayton Powell Jr. State Office Building) https://www.instagram.com/trascapades/p/CYJco1jLLR5/?utm_medium=tumblr

BLACK VENUS, curated by Aindrea Emelife (@aindreaemelife), "an exhibition that surveys the legacy of Black women in visual culture – from fetishized, colonial-era caricatures, to the present-day reclamation of the rich complexity of Black womanhood by 17 artists (of numerous nationalities and with birth years spanning 1942 to 1997)" is on view at @fotografiska.newyork, 281 Park Ave South #NYC, through August 21, 2022.
