Through July 8, 2018
Juxtaposing the work of Josef Albers, a single artist focused on the psychic and emotive qualities of color, with African and African American artists who confront the historic and contemporary traces of colonialism as they contribute to the power of healing and renewal, this show combines both aesthetic and political trajectories.
