Explore The Museum to find artworks created by African American artists from Indiana.
This tour highlights works by African American artists that focus on issues of Black identity and representation. In the predominately white and Eurocentric art culture of the United States, these artists are innovative and occasionally radical in their choice to showcase subjects and experiences from their own lives and communities. While not all of these works were intended to be overtly political, they point to the dearth of Black representation in American art and underscore a rich diversity of artmaking practices that have rarely been accounted for in mainstream narratives.
