Frames of Identity Showcase: Celebrating Nuanced Blackness

Selected photos from the Frames of Identity: Celebrating Nuanced Blackness call for submissions will be displayed in MODA, highlighting the unique perspectives and artistic talents of the participants. This showcase celebrates the diversity and depth of Black identity through powerful visual storytelling. During the evening, Sam Hoggs, Works+Pages curator leads a discussion on how Blackness is expressed, experienced, and celebrated through art. Hoggs and fellow panelists reflect on the submitted works and delve into references from the Works+Pages Black Art Library, their own creative processes, exploring the role of art in shaping and communicating the complexities of Black identity.

The event also fosters an interactive space for audience engagement, where attendees are invited to ask questions, share their reflections, and connect with the artists. This dynamic exchange deepens the conversation and provide a platform for further exploration of nuanced Blackness in art and life.
