History: In the Making: Featuring Sonya Clark, Kyle Hackett, Joyce J. Scott, and Elizabeth Talford Scott
In honor of Black History Month—and in recognition of our broad, worldwide audiences who engage beyond Baltimore’s city limits—Goya Contemporary is pleased to introduce our month-long digital exhibition series, History: In the Making.
This series celebrates Black history as American history, foregrounding the achievements, contributions, and artistic practices of Black and Brown artists with whom we work.
Throughout the month of February, we will present artworks accompanied by contextual and didactic materials, offering deeper insight into the artists’ practices and the histories they engage. The series will culminate in a digital publication, available following the close of the series.
We invite you to spend time with these works, engage with them digitally in greater depth, and join us in celebrating the extraordinary achievements of each visual practitioner featured in the exhibition.
This digital series also serves as a prelude to our forthcoming exhibition, Unfinished Republic: America at 250, scheduled to open later this year. We look forward to continuing this dialogue with you.
