Conversations | When We See Us, A Century of Black Figuration in Painting

Presented in collaboration with Kunstmuseum Basel Drawing from nuanced forms of joy, Black artists, whether residing in Africa or within the vast African diaspora, have pursued a spectrum of visual vocabularies that encompass the experiences of Blackness – of being Black; of living within Black cultures and navigating the complexities of representation and visibility. In doing so, they have intentionally explored the poetics of Blackness in a way that subverts reductive tropes. They explore Black subjectivity and Black consciousness through figurative painting as part of a historical continuum. Join curator Koyo Kouoh as she discusses these vocabularies and histories – surveyed and celebrated in the exhibition When We See Us, A Century of Black Figuration in Painting, currently on show at Kunstmuseum Basel – with artists Kudzanai-Violet Hwami and Tschabalala Self.
