Today we focus on the Afro-Atlantic Histories exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. This phenomenal show originally debuted at Museu de Arte de São Paulo, Brazil, and is now being exhibited at the NGA. We talk with Kanitra Fletcher, associate curator of African American and Afro-diasporic art at the NGA, about this brilliant massive show. Kanitra talks about the basis for the show and her part in curating the exhibition, Black portraiture, and the lesson that can be learned from the exhibit. Since your boy JBarber could only study the beautiful catalog we thought it would be great to hear a first-hand experience of the show from another curator, Studio Noize fam, Lauren Jackson Harris. Two brilliant Black women in one episode of the Noize. Listen, subscribe, and share!

Lauren Jackson Harris is an arts professional and independent curator who was exposed to art at an early age and it undoubtedly became her passion. With a BFA in Graphic Design and Art History from Howard University and a MA in Creative Business Leadership from SCAD, I value both education and experience in the arts. I enjoyed networking and cultivating relationships with those within the arts and cultural industry. I have used my innovative strategies and progressive ideas to help ignite the arts community and create new avenues for artists and arts workers. Through managing partnerships and engaging audiences, I hope to add value to the art scene of my hometown of Atlanta, engage and grow with other BWVA’s, and transform the art world one step at a time.
