Clark Atlanta University (Clark Atlanta University Art Museum)

The Clark Atlanta University Art Museum will support its goal to be a center for the presentation and critical study of African Diaspora art by furthering its Black Optics Artist Residency program. Building on an exchange with the Musée Schoelcher, a cultural institution located in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe, the museum will invite Guadeloupean installation artist Minhia Biabiany to develop an exhibition and programming that involves sharing her work and expertise with faculty and students at the university and with broader Atlanta communities. The artist's project will generate new perspectives about the museum's permanent collection, exhibition, and/or contemporary museum practices. The exhibition will then travel to Guadeloupe to be presented in the Musée Schoelcher. The residency program is designed to explore transnational exchange and alternative histories through conversations between U.S. artists of African descent and artists from the Caribbean.
