Starting Sunday, April 10th, the National Gallery of Art invites the public to witness Afro-Atlantic Histories. Prior to the official opening, The hosts of Creative Habits Podcast were invited to view the exhibition during an exclusive press preview. Phil and Indigo were afforded the opportunity to interview Stephen Nelson, the dean of the Center for Advanced Studies in Visual Arts, and the National Gallery of Art's first African American and Diasporic Art Curator, Kanitra Fletcher. Afro-Atlantic Histories explores the historical and cultural narratives of the African diaspora. The exhibition includes historical artifacts and breathtaking contemporary art from the Americas, Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean. Afro-Atlantic Histories is open to the public from April 10 to July 17, 2022. To learn more about the exhibition, upcoming events, and performances, please visit nga.gov.
