Black art is many things, but singular is not one of them. As Montserrat’s Black Student Union, our curatorial lens is focused here on *DEIB and representation in artistic voice and verb, an idea that can be traced to the groundbreaking exhibition, Art as a Verb, curated by Dr. Leslie King Hammond in 1988.
Curated by students from the Black Student Union, the exhibition seeks to embrace the intersectionality of contemporary *BIPOC artistic expression. The exhibition aspires to present to Montserrat and the public that Black artists and those of African descent have agency to make anything, and Black art can be anything while employing all genres of art and design.
Artists include Michael Aghahowa, Josh Beckett, Dr. Leslie King Hammond, Ari Montford, Toby Sisson alongside BSU Student Artists Josue Bessiake, Isaiah Hope, Marc Elie Mordan, KD Moye, Taliyah Shepard. Ziggy Smith, and Venus.
