Harlem Renaissance May 26, 2024

 I have been to the Harlem Renaissance and Modern Traditions exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum twice since it opened and highly recommend it to you. It is a joyful exhibition and is on thru July 28th. ‘This exhibition explores the comprehensive and far-reaching ways in which Black artists portrayed everyday modern life. Through some 160 works of painting, sculpture, photography, film, and ephemera, explore the new Black cities that took shape in the 1920s–40s in New York City’s Harlem and nationwide in the early decades of the Great Migration, when millions of African Americans began to move away from the segregated rural South’.
