Ming Smith: Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power

Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power shines light on a broad spectrum of Black artistic practice from 1963 to 1983, one of the most politically, socially, and aesthetically revolutionary periods in American history. Black artists across the country worked in communities, in collectives, and individually to create a range of art responsive to the moment—including figurative and abstract painting, prints, and photography; assemblage and sculpture; and performance.

Ming Smith, an artist featured in the exhibition, discusses her photography as a means to capture a moment’s humanism and spirituality.
