- **Event Name**: Black Futures, 2.0 - How To See In Total Darkness
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 09 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 am – Mon, 09 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Boston-based artists presented in this exhibition all poignantly represent a multitude of approaches that are informed by their lived experiences, their formal training, as well as a broad range of discourses on how race, gender, social relations, history, and culture substantively shape both figurative and abstract art. As such there are no easy answers when it comes to the production, reception and meaning of Black Futures.

In many instances, these artists are wrestling with themselves, their passion for collective work, and the material conditions of a world that wasn’t built for them. As a result, their source material and artistic influences run the gamut: Hip Hop, Louise  Bourgeois, Yayoi Kusama, The Wiz, Goya, Philip Guston, Kehinde  Wiley, Marvel Comics, Frankie Beverly, Francis Bacon, James Luna,  Grace Hartigan, Romare Bearden, Mark Bradford, Christina Sharpe, Nicole Krauss, W.E.B. Du Bois, Toni Morrison, Hans Hoffman,  Barkley Hendricks, David Hammons, Joyce Scott. A dizzying array of voices to be sure. But they all serve as creative heroes and antagonists that propel these artists towards excavating what is unique and authentic to each of their practices.  

This exhibition features work by: Dell Marie Hamilton,  Karmimadeebora McMillan Ari Montford, Jameel Radcliffe, and Jamal Thorne.
