Black Art Library
MSU Union Art Gallery
Feb 16 – Mar 8, 2024
Reception Mar 8, 5-7PM
Created in February 2020 by independent curator and MSU Alumna Asmaa Walton, the Black Art Library was born from Walton’s desire to create a tactile means for communities to engage with Black artists and Black art history. A living archive of global Black creativity, the collection includes artist monographs, exhibition catalogs, children’s books, artist memoirs, artist biographies, art history texts, and other art related ephemera. As a mobile collection and interactive installation, Black Art Library provides a platform for community accessibility and engagement with the rich legacy of Black art, aesthetics, and history.
