'30 AMERICANS EXHIBIT'

NOW SHOWING





Produced by the Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design in Washington, D.C.


we decided to call it “30 Americans.” “Americans,” rather than “African Americans” or “Black Americans” because nationality is a statement of fact, while racial identity is a question each artist answers in his or her own way, or not at all.
