African Modernism in America features nearly 80 dynamic and vivid works of art created in Africa during the 1950s and ‘60s. Co-organized by the American Federation of Arts and Fisk University Galleries, the exhibition explores the relationships formed between African artists and American patrons, artists, and cultural organizations amid the interlocking histories of civil rights, decolonization, and the Cold War. Many of the paintings, sculptures, and works on paper in the show were drawn from Fisk’s remarkable collection of gifts from the Harmon Foundation. Following World War II, this foundation, along with other institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Fisk University, and other historically Black colleges and universities, supported and exhibited the work of Black artists, including the important modern African artists Ben Enwonwu (Nigeria), Ibrahim El-Salahi (Sudan), and Skunder Boghossian (Ethiopia). Showing African art in the United States rooted it in the present and encouraged American audiences to engage with African artists as contemporaries. The inventive nature of the works in this exhibition challenges the assumptions of the time about African art being isolated to a “primitive past.” Some pieces took inspiration from early Christian art, West African sculpture, and Nigerian literature, while others reflect the influences of American jazz and modern European art.

Please join us for the opening reception of "Promised Land," featuring the works of renowned landscape painter and Northern Kentucky University (NKU) Professor of Painting Kevin Muente on Thursday, March 14, from 6-9 pm.
Kevin Muente's paintings capture a timeless essence, presenting characters facing relatable challenges and fostering a deep connection with the audience. The artist's soul-stirring narrative unfolds on the canvas with expressions, gestures, and frozen moments that provoke contemplation. The landscape envelops the figures, adding a unique freshness to the narrative, akin to a cinematic experience.
In Muente's words, "The stories I tell speak to the soul. We may not know who these characters are, but we still connect to their problems and desires. We empathize with them. Their world helps us to examine our world.”
