seen/unseen

A multidisciplinary exhibition and artist talkback exploring the paradox of visibility for Black artists.

Seen / Unseen examines the complex relationship Black artists have with visibility— how being seen can be affirming, but also leaves one vulnerable to misinterpretation, surveillance, and commodification. Through performance, storytelling (music and poetry), media, and visual art, the exhibition invited attendees into a space where seeing and being seen becomes an active, dynamic exchange.
