Black Gaze, Black Bodies: Black Masculinities and Hip Hop

“Black Gaze, Black Bodies: Black Masculinities and Hip Hop” is a multidisciplinary group exhibition curated by Essé Dabla-Attikpo. This project is not only an exhibition; it’s a conversation with Artists who ‘imagine what is possible’ by creating, discussing and sharing new canons of Black men in hip hop culture, as the movement turns 50 years old.

Artist talk: October 3, 2023 | Time TBD

“Black gaze, Black Bodies: Black Masculinities and Hip Hop” is on exhibition at Pittsburgh Yards in Atlanta from September 30 to October 30, 2023.
