Dress & Power with Kennedi Carter & Taylor Renee Aldridge

The Fowler Museum at UCLA,  in partnership with the California African American Museum, is proud to present the work of Kennedi Carter & curator Taylor Renee Aldridge!  The event will be on Thursday, Oct. 21 from 4-5pm online (see registration link).

The program will explore Carter’s recent series, Flexing/New Realm, which features portraits of friends in historically-inspired costumes and poses. Carter’s work will serve as a catalyst for a conversation about photography as a device for Black people to self-image; ways in which Black Americans use their artworks to communicate ideas of Blackness and its relationship to wealth, power, respect, and belonging; and the practice of Black artists who subvert power dynamics of traditional art historical portraits by placing Black sitters in traditionally white contexts.
