The Mint Museum reposted this
Earlier this week, I had the privilege to attend the VIP opening of the new exhibit, “Whitfield Lovell: Passages,” at The Mint Museum. The show was several years in the making and is a must-see. It opened to the public this weekend and will be on display until September 22. Chief curator Dr. Sudul Edwards moderated a deep conversation with Lovell, where we learned more about his philosophy, journey as an artist, and his creative process. The exhibit consists of two immersive installations and approximately 30 additional works. Lovell is renowned for his masterful conte crayon portraits and multi-sensory installations that focus on aspects of African American history while raising universal questions about identity, memory, and America’s collective heritage. If you are in Charlotte, you must see this in person. For those who are out of state, you can check it out via the Bloomberg Philanthropies app.
