HARLEM: MTA Underground - Black Artists and Ancient Egypt!

Through Wednesday, December 31
MTA Arts & Design, New York
Presented by The Met - Metropolitan Museum of Art

Flight into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt, 1876-Now examines how Black artists and other cultural figures have engaged with ancient Egypt through visual art, sculpture, literature, music, scholarship, religion, politics, and performance. In a multisensory exploration of nearly 150 years of artistic and cultural production—from the 19th century to the Harlem Renaissance to the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s to the present day—the exhibition includes nearly 200 works of art in a wide range of media.
