<a href="https://folkartmuseum.org/exhibitions/unnamed-figures/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Unnamed Figures: Black Presence and Absence in the Early American North</a> offers a new window onto Black representation in a region that is often overlooked in narratives of early African American history.Through 125 remarkable works including paintings, needlework, and photographs, this exhibition invites visitors to focus on figures who appear in—or are omitted from—early American images and will challenge conventional narratives that have minimized early Black histories in the North, revealing the complexities and contradictions of the region’s history between the late 1600s and early 1800s. <a href="https://folkartmuseum.org/exhibitions/marvels-of-my-own-inventiveness/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Marvels of My Own Inventiveness</a> will feature an immersive viewing of approximately 22 paintings by five contemporary Black artists in the American Folk Art Museum collection: Leonard Daley, Claude Lawrence, J.B. Murray, Mary T. Smith, and Purvis Young. By positioning these artists in conversation with one another, the exhibition will explore the artistic self-expression of Black makers working in and around abstraction.
