Multiplicity: Blackness in Contemporary American Collage Exhibit @ The Phillips Collection (1 of 2)
Two artist friends urged me to go see the Multiplicity: Blackness in Contemporary American Collage exhibit on display at The Phillips Collection in downtown DC.
,
Thank goodness one of them whisked me away to see the exhibit on its last day of showing, and to this day, I’m soooo glad she did!
Honestly, all I can (still) say is *** WHOA *** !!
I’m going to let this first round of photos (below) speak for themselves *but* can I just share that the tsunami of inspiration and talent showcased across Multiplicity‘s collaged works was enough to make a collagist enthusiast like myself fall to her mixed media knees in pure and sheer bliss 🙏🏽







These curated photos BARELY begin to scrape the full range of Multiplicity works on exhibit.

The exhibit’s entrance quote, found at the beginning of the exhibit, was both inspirational and enlightening:
“With collage, I can create a more expansive and inclusive view of the Black experience.”
