Now through September 1: Black is Beautiful: The Photography of Kwame Brathwaite at the Skirball Cultural Center

"Black is Beautiful: The Photography of Kwame Brathwaite" will showcase at the Skirball Cultural Center from April 11 to September 1, 2019. Brathwaite, a leading artist in the second Harlem Renaissance, popularized the phrase "black is beautiful". 

This is the first exhibition of its kind to spotlight Brathwaite's photography, which is known for questioning mainstream beauty standards and promoting diversity and inclusion in the arts. Brathwaite's photography portrays people of color with natural hair and clothes, and illuminates the vibrant black arts community. GRoW is one of the sponsors for this inspiring exhibition.
