Black Excellence Meets Ancient Egypt in the Met’s Latest Exhibition
As a passionate admirer, I’m thrilled to share that “Flight into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt, 1876–Now” is currently on display at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met). This captivating group exhibition offers an intriguing exploration of the enduring impact of Ancient Egyptian art on African American artists throughout the past 150 years. It’s a unique blend of works from our esteemed institution, as well as pieces generously loaned from various parts of the globe. The show takes us on a fascinating journey, from the 19th century and the Harlem Renaissance to today’s contemporary art and music scene, sparking thought-provoking conversations that bridge disparate eras.
