“Mickalene Thomas: All About Love”

“Mickalene Thomas: All About Love” is the first major international tour focused on the work of Mickalene Thomas, whose art draws from 19th-century painting and popular culture. Co-organized by the Hayward Gallery and The Broad, the exhibition features a vivid array of paintings, collages, photography, video, and site-specific installations. Thomas’s work, known for its rhinestone-encrusted, large-scale tableaux, celebrates Black femininity through bold compositions that explore beauty, desire, and agency from a Black feminist perspective.

The exhibit will run from October 20, 2024 – January 12, 2025, at the Barnes Foundation.
