This should be required reading for everyone. There's so much brilliance in this essay from @nhannahjones. "The truth is that as much democracy as this nation has today, it has been borne on the backs of black resistance." nyti.ms/2N19USg

Honored to receive support from @NEAarts! Over the next two years we’ll be working with @CityofDetroit to facilitate collaborations with local neighborhoods and artists to show how investment in arts and culture contributes to sustainable neighborhood development. Thank you!

An artist panel on found material in contemporary African-American art, a special activation of Nari Ward's "Naturalization Drawing Table," and more, this week at the New Museum: bit.ly/2CM8FQO
ALT A view of Nari Ward's work "Naturalization Drawing Table" as it appears in his exhibition "We the People." A corner view of a desk made from yellowed plexiglass. The perimeter of the desk is lined by 8.5 by 11 inch sheets of paper held upright between plexiglass plates. Each sheet is decorated with a swirling, handdrawn pattern. A grid of filled-out forms is tacked to the wall behind the desk.

Nari Ward's smaller sculptures — not his larger, site-specific works — feel most profound at the New Museum, which is giving him a midcareer retrospective, our critic Martha Schwendener writes in her review nyti.ms/2TQAhxZ

Toni Morrison is 88 today, and we all should explore and revisit her work today to honor her. Her birthday feels like a holiday of sorts for black writers, in particular, and this 2003 Hilton Als profile illustrates why. nyer.cm/3dmHaDR

“Being a black woman writer is not a shallow place but a rich place to write from. It doesn’t limit my imagination; it expands it,” Toni Morrison, who turns eighty-eight today, said. nyer.cm/3dmHaDR
