Layers of Joy is a celebration of Black art, identity, and community in Minneapolis curated by U of MN students. The exhibition showcases the work of five early and mid-career artists who examine how layered materiality and artistic practice intersect with the multiplicitous nature of existing as Black. It foregrounds how these artists are united through Black joy as a tool for individual expression and community engagement.
The exhibition includes work by Leslie Barlow, Alexandra Beaumont, Eyenga Bokamba, Cameron Patricia Downey, and seangarrison. The exhibition is curated by students enrolled in ARTH 3940: Topics in Art History, taught by Dr. Daniel M. Greenberg and Dr. Dwight K. Lewis, Jr.
