How does abstraction shape the way we remember our history? @NMAAHC's new exhibitions, 'Revelation' and 'Reset,' explore exactly how Black artists redefine our world. #BlackSky
The National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) is set to launch two exhibitions titled 'Revelation: A Journey into Abstraction' and 'Reset: Abstraction Embodied in Design.' The exhibitions focus on how abstraction influences African American artistic expression across various media such as painting, sculpture, and design objects. The 'Revelation' exhibition features 41 works by 38 artists, highlighting abstraction as a medium for cultural memory and identity, divided into five thematic sections. The 'Reset' exhibition showcases contemporary design elements that encourage emotional engagement and transformation in everyday spaces. Both exhibitions are accompanied by a catalog titled 'Revelation: A Journey into Abstraction,' published by Rizzoli Electa.
