“Radical Revisionists: Contemporary African Artists Confronting Past and Present” is a group exhibition of 10 artists from Africa and the Diaspora who problematize Eurocentric tropes of race, representation and prevailing colonial narratives. The exhibition addresses the violent erasure of marginalized histories and the ways in which artists reinterpret familiar themes through contemporary, Afrocentric lenses. Featured artists include Sammy Baloji, Serge Attukwei Clottey, Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Omar Victor Diop, Adama Delphine Fawundu, Zanele Muholi, Robin Rhode, Yinka Shonibare CBE, Mary Sibande, and Pascale Marthine Tayou. Harrison Guy, 2019-20 CERCL Artist-in Residence and Founder/Artistic Director of Urban Souls Dance Company, presents "Black Bodies in White Spaces: A Performance Ritual." Choreographed by Guy, the performance is in engagement with the Moody's spring exhibition. The mission of the Moody Center for the Arts is to encourage creative thinking and original expression, enrich curricular innovation, and promote cross-campus and community collaboration through transformative encounters with the arts.
