Art after Stonewall presents a diverse group of artists and activists who lived and worked at the intersections of
avant-garde art worlds, radical political movements, and profound social change. The exhibition focuses on both
the work of openly LGBTQ artists as well as the practices of straight-identified artists seeking engagement with
queer subcultures. Art after Stonewall highlights a wide array of conceptual, performance, film, and video art, as
well as photography, painting, sculpture, and music, along with historical documents and images taken from
magazines, newspapers and television. Major support for the exhibition is provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation.

Raggin’ On presents six decades of Aminah Robinson’s art and writing. The exhibition invites visitors to experience the artist’s home and creative processes and to better understand her intention “to celebrate the everyday lives and culture of Black people and their endurance through centuries of injustice.” In addition to Robinson’s art, this exhibition includes furnishings she made for her house; books from her impressive library; collections of buttons, fabrics, canes, dolls, and thimbles; art she traded with other artists; and photo enlargements of her living spaces and studios. Complementing the visceral experience reflective of the artist’s home, visitors will explore their own stories, understand Robinson’s process by creating their own art, and peruse Robinson’s journals through interactive technology.
