Meetup at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)

Please join us at our first group museum visit! Together we will check out the "Ideas of Africa" exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. This exhibit explores how portrait photography in Africa in the mid-20th century embraced the international spirit of the time. The photos in this exhibit are interesting because they were taken in the backdrop of decolonization, the US Civil Rights movement, and the idea that ordinary citizens can participate in the co-creation of a new political reality. After viewing the exhibit, we will gather to share and discuss our thoughts. We will also check out the participatory space in MoMA where you can create your own portrait if you like.
