ART WE 🫶: ‘Kindred Spirits: Intergenerational Forms of Expression, 1966 - 1999’ on view at @fristartmuseum til 6.1 in partnership with @fiskuniversity @fiskuniversitygalleries
“1966 represented a moment of transition after the retirement of Aaron Douglas, founder and chair of Fisk’s Art Department and a leading figure of the Harlem Renaissance. The appointment of David C. Driskell as Douglas’s successor ushered in a broadening view of the African diasporic arts through instructional innovation and the expansion of the university’s collections, artist residency programs, and exhibitions.
Kindred Spirits frames a critical timeline linking Driskell’s tenure (1966–76) with the tenure of one of his preeminent colleagues, professor Earl J. Hooks (1969–99). Co-organized by Fisk University Galleries and the Frist Art Museum, this exhibition features more than 50 objects, including archival images and interview documentation, and acts as a companion exhibition to David C. Driskell and Friends: Creativity, Collaboration, and Friendship.” ©️ @fristartmuseum
