By Tracie Tuttle–<\/strong>The 30 Americans <\/em>exhibit,\nwhich is currently on display at the Joslyn Art Museum until May 5th<\/sup>,\nprompts viewers to reflect on race and culture in the United States through\nartwork by 30 African American artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artworks are a mix of paintings, prints, sculptures, and\ninstallations that define the experience of being black in America. Viewers are\nencouraged to start a conversation about racial inequalities and injustices\nthat have happened both recently and historically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the artwork there are writings that help bring these social\nissues to light. One pointed out that African Americans had not been noticeably\npresent in historical art until the 1950s and went on to describe the Black\nArts Movement of the 1960s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of several artists featured in the show, Kehinde Wiley, has an\nartwork titled Sleep<\/em>. The massive oil\npainting is 11 x 25 feet, and consists of an African American male figure laying\nacross a surface surrounded by a floral design. The flowers, according to the\nartist, are meant to oppose the stereotype that black masculinity is\naggressive. On point with Wiley\u2019s signature style, the vivid colors are\nseamlessly blended from light to dark in an eye-catching way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other artists in the show include Nina Chanel Abney, Mickalene\nThomas, Shinique Smith, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mark Bradford, and Xaviera\nSimmons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30\nAmericans <\/em>is a traveling exhibition from the Rubell Family collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Joslyn Art Museum offers several permanent exhibits for\npatrons to check out including Ancient, European, American, American Indian,\nAsian, and Latin American art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Joslyn is free for the public to see any of their permanent\ncollections, however admission to their temporary shows, like 30 Americans<\/em>, is $10 per ticket, $5 for\ncollege students with college ID, or free admission during the first weekend of\nApril and May. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm and until\n8 pm on Thursdays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
