Amoako Boafo in <i>The Soul of Black Folks <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and Malawian artist Billie Zangewa\u2019s silk collages in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Threads of a Web.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\n\n\n\n<br><br>White also highlights new artists they\u2019ve been able to showcase through their Emerging Artist Program. \u201cWe have an impressive record of identifying exciting artists ready to step into a full-fledged career as professional, international artists. This year, we have featured Cynthia Aurora Brannvall, Richard-Jonathon Nelson, Trina Michelle Robinson, and Ashley Ross. Last year we had Sydney Cain! In the past, we presented Chanell Stone. The list goes on. So many exciting new artists.\u201d<\/span>\n\n\n\n<br><br>A current exhibit, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The New Black Vanguard, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">curated by Antwaun Sargent, explores the intersection of fashion and contemporary art through the work of over 15 photographers. These include professional photographers focused on fashion and contemporary artists integrating fashion into their work.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\n\n<br><br>\u201cThese artists are pushing boundaries while focusing fashion front and center,\u201d says White.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\n\n<br><br>To highlight three of the included artists, Tyler Mitchell was the first photographer to shoot a Vogue cover &#8211; in 2018. Quil Lemons explores representations of Black masculinity. Arielle Bobb-Willis, an artist who speaks openly about her experience with depression, explores the visible and the invisible through fashion.<\/span>\n\n\n\n<br><br>An upcoming exhibition of which the MoAD is quite proud will be Black Venus.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\n\n<br><br>\u201cBlack Venus is a powerful exhibition, including eighteen artists whose work focuses on the legacy of Black women in visual culture, curated by a powerful woman, Andrea Emilife. The exhibition is a celebration of Black beauty, the many faces of Black femininity, and the shaping of Black women in the public consciousness then and now,\u201d says White.

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>The pandemic was an extreme challenge for the MoAD and all cultural institutions. Closed to in-person visitors for 18 months, they had to furlough staff, cancel exhibitions, switch their fundraising strategy, and do whatever they could to make sure they would survive.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\n\n<br><br>They pivoted from in-person programs to digital programs, including In the Artist\u2019s Studio, Art as We See It, the African Book Club, and more. Their digital programs were quite successful, bringing art and artists into people\u2019s homes.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\n\n<br><br>\u201cWe continue to have lots of engagement with our digital programs, so we\u2019ve kept them going even though we\u2019ve been open again for over a year. Our digital following has grown a lot over the past six months along with our membership,\u201d says White.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\n\n<br><br>Everyone at the MoAD agrees that it has been challenging to get up and running again after Covid and wants to focus on strategies to get visitors back into the museum.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\n\n<br><br>However, they are still quite optimistic about visitors\u2019 returning.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\n\n\u201cIt is amazing to see art back on the walls and to see people coming through our doors and wandering our galleries again. We are seeing more and more long-time friends visiting and new friends arriving,\u201d White says.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\n\n<br><br>As an art museum, they are focused on in-person experiences. But the virtual technology of the Covid shutdowns also opened new doors for the MoAD.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\n\n<br><br>\u201cThe \u2018globalness\u2019 of the African Diaspora emerged through a forced digital experience. As a non-collecting institution, we benefit from more flexibility in programming, and so we quickly adapted to virtual engagement with artists and audiences. In the first few weeks of the pandemic, we had new members dialing in from countries across Africa, South America, and Europe in numbers we had never seen in person,\u201d explains White.\u00a0<\/span>\nThey now seek to maintain the Digital Diaspora while also encouraging in-person visitors at the MoAD. <\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72fd79c e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"72fd79c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ebd9e7 e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7ebd9e7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e798b8b e-con-full elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-laptop elementor-hidden-tablet_extra elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile_extra e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e798b8b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-217e94d elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"217e94d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Ayana V.

The need for this position and the impact it will have is demonstrated by the grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to fund this role,\u201d says White.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span>\n\nFor this position, which began in January 2023, they have chosen Key Jo Lee, who comes to them from the Cleveland Museum of Art. Lee\u2019s expertise is in American art history, histories and theories of photography, and African American studies, as well as museum education. She has been responsible for curatorial and publication projects that highlight the intersection of scholarly work and public audiences and that illuminate works by artists of the Black Diaspora.\n\nLee is a Ph.D. candidate in History of Art and African American Studies at Yale University. She also holds a B.A. in Art History from Douglass College at Rutgers University and a dual M.A. in History of Art and African American Studies from Yale.\n\n\u201cWhat excites me about seeing Key Jo Lee occupy this new position is a matter of scale,\u201d says Ashley James, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. \u201cHow, on the one hand, she can articulate the big picture, high-level stakes of Black art and its multiple narratives, while at the same time attending to the details and specificities, even the very physics of art. Hers is an enthusiasm for artists and artworks that extends from the macro to the molecular level. MoAD is lucky to have a leader who not only sees these multi-levels but cultivates them with great skill, care, and possibility.\u201d\n\nLee will oversee the design of a strategic direction for the Museum\u2019s exhibitions and programs, lead globally in identifying and promoting emerging artists from the African Diaspora, and expand MoAD\u2019s reach and influence locally, nationally, and internationally.\n\n\u201cIt took us a year to find the right person for this role, and it was so worth the wait. With her bold vision, insightful scholarship, wide-ranging museum experience, and can-do attitude, Key Jo Lee is not only a perfect fit for MoAD but will be a game changer. We are thankful to the Mellon Foundation for the opportunity,\u201d says White. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10908\"
