what if
An immersive exhibition that explores the expansiveness of interiority through personal curiosity, as evidenced in Black artists’ visual narratives. This exhibition focuses on the ways the artists remain curious, imaginative, and authentic to self, despite outside perceptions of Black art, highlighting their sources of curiosity through interior monologues that flirt with ideas of time, ritual, tradition, and playful expressions of self and emotion. what if is generously supported by Tacoma Creates, ArtsFund, Windrose Fund of the Common Counsel Foundation, and our wonderful Tacoma Art Museum Members.
