Fictions Gallery Tour
Description
The exhibition Fictions is a survey of recent work by nineteen emerging artists of African descent. The works in Fictions investigate questions surrounding experiences with black culture, often creating parallel or alternate narratives that complicate fact, fiction and memory. From the personal to the political and the everyday to the imagined, Fictions examines the stories that form the foundation of these artists’ practices. During an inquiry-based discussion, students will explore the ways artists create narrative content through the visual. This inquiry-based experience fosters critical- and creative-thinking skills by motivating students to participate in discussions about works on view.
