A major touring exhibition on Mickalene Thomas will be going on view in 2024. Starting at The Broad in Los Angeles and following through to the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia and Hayward Gallery in London, the show will encompass her multi-disciplinary practice across painting, sculpture, film and installation. Based in Brooklyn, Thomas is often inspired her 1970s childhood in the way she creates flowery depictions of African American identity and Black female beauty. <\/p>\n

All About Love<\/em>, which references Patricia Collins 2000 essay of the same name, provides a comprehensive look at how Thomas subverts the conventions of art history to reclaim a semblance of love and desire, by drawing on female empowerment and Black feminist theory. <\/p>\n
