Opening Reception: Mickalene Thomas: Waiting on a Prime-Time Star

Thursday, September 28, 2017 | 7:00pm-9:00pm
Brown Foundation and Central Galleries, free and open to the public

Join us for the opening reception of Mickalene Thomas: Waiting on a Prime-Time Star, which features paintings, photographs, collages, prints, and mixed-media works that explore the artist’s complex vision of female sexuality, identity, and power. Thomas’s portraits, landscapes, and interiors examine how African-American women are represented in art and popular culture and confront our assumptions about what defines the female experience in the 21st century.
