AFPR—Meet The Artists: Roberto Lugo

Meet Roberto Lugo, one of the many contemporary artists whose work is featured in "Before Yesterday We Could Fly: An Afrofuturist Period Room."⁣⁣ ⁣ Roberto Lugo is renowned for his vibrant reinterpretations of 18th-century European porcelain forms, which he reimagines through the lens of contemporary hip-hop culture and embellishes with graffiti and kente prestige cloth patterns. ⁣ ⁣ His works center the portraits of heroes whose visages do not often adorn fine porcelain or whose stories are too often absent from such luxurious wares. ⁣ ⁣ On his piece "Digable Underground" in The Met's Afrofuturist period room, abolitionist Harriet Tubman faces the kitchen and contemporary singer-songwriter Erykah Badu looks into the living room; together, they reflect the ways that the kitchen acts as a site of temporal confluence—a merging of past and present into future possibilities.⁣ Take a virtual tour of the exhibition:    • Before Yesterday We Could Fly: An Afrofutu...   Learn more about the space and explore all the artworks on view: https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions... #MetAfrofuturist Production Credits: Managing Producer: Kate Farrell Producer: Melissa Bell Editor: Lela Jenkins Graphic Design: Abby Chen Music: Austin Fisher Photographs: Paul Lachenauer Special thanks: Roberto Lugo, Sarah Lawrence, Ian Alteveer, Ana Matisse Donefer-Hickie, Claire Lanier, Victoria Martinez, Sofie Andersen Subscribe for new content from The Met:    / @metmuseum   #TheMet #Art #TheMetropolitanMuseumofArt #Museum © 2022 The Metropolitan Museum of Art
