Curated by the Renaissance Society’s Associate Curator and Education Director Hamza Walker, the exhibition brought together works by twenty-seven black and non-black artists whose work collectively examines a moment where the cultural production of so-called “blackness” is concurrent with efforts to make race socially and politically irrelevant. The publication features essays by Huey Copeland, Darby English, Greg Foster-Rice, Amy M. Mooney, Kymberly N. Pinder, Krista Thompson, Hamza Walker, and Kenneth Warrren.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[publishers’ note]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Renaissance Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57356898435412,"sku":"A8B-24034","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/9609\/6596\/files\/blackaint.jpg?v=1790811128","url":"https:\/\/after8books.com\/products\/black-is-black-ain-t","provider":"After 8 Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
