Art Princeton University Art Museum

Hold: A Meditation on Black Aesthetics. One of the most contentious and capacious concepts of the modern era, black aesthetics names both a tradition of visual art, music, and literature and a set of linkages, resonances, and breaks. The works in this exhibition, ranging from the 1950s to the present, embody various ways the aesthetic realm has enabled re-imaginings of blackness. Rather than narrowly defining a genre or a mode of expression, these examples of black art speak to alternate ways of seeing, feeling, living, and being together in the world. Together, they meditate on the word "hold" as a metaphor for thinking about the diverse expressive forms that gather under the banner of black art. Through February 11.
