In Philly? Maybe check out this exhibit?

« This exhibition features 28 Black and African diasporic contemporary artists who use figurative painting, drawing and sculpture to illuminate and celebrate the nuance and richness of Black contemporary life.

Curated by British writer and curator Ekow Eshun, The Time Is Always Now takes its title from an essay on desegregation by American writer and social rights activist James Baldwin. It highlights a sense of urgency around contemporary artistic expression, while acting as a reminder that Black artists exist within an always-evolving artistic lineage.

The more than 60 contemporary works featured in this exhibition unfold around three core themes: Double Consciousness, Past and Presence and Our Aliveness. Double Consciousness, a theory first introduced in 1897 by the African American sociologist W.E.B Du Bois, explores concepts of being, belonging and Blackness as a psychological state. Past and Presence explores the absence of Black figures in many mainstream narratives and shows how artists have responded. Our Aliveness features assertions and celebrations of Black assembly and gathering. »

Many French teachers are familiar with Senghor. On our teacher trip to Senegal, we learned he was from a polygamous family, something that I never learned in my US studies. It’s also interesting to read these comments below and think about how important it is to avoid a single story and superficial narratives. 🇸🇳 📖

Léopold Sédar Senghor eut tous les honneurs : premier Africain agrégé de grammaire, poète célébré dans le monde entier, premier président du Sénégal, académicien. Mais il fut également la cible de très nombreuses critiques : il fut en effet accusé d'essentialisme pour avoir inventé la Négritude, d'autoritarisme pour avoir fait emprisonner ses opposants, de complaisance envers la France pour n'avoir jamais rompu avec l'ancienne puissance coloniale. Difficile aujourd'hui de faire un portrait nuancé de Senghor qui affronterait véritablement le bilan politique de cet homme d'État tout en rendant justice à la grande actualité de sa pensée poétique et philosophique. C'est pourtant cette ligne de crête que cette biographie entend emprunter, loin de l'hagiographie, loin des anathèmes.
