During a moment of political transition, this exhibit features a variety of iconic Black figures, alongside intimate moments of Black resilience. Each piece embodies the strength, beauty, and hope of the Black experience while inviting viewers to reflect on solutions: keep fighting, uniting, building, and creating change together.
Community Repsonse: Where Do We Go From Here?
In an exhibit filled with vibrant colors, recognizable faces, and Black joy there is one piece of art that stands out.
The exhibit has a blank canvas on display with the words overhead reading "Where Do We Go From Here?" - a poignant question in today's society with no right, wrong, or clear answer. Curry challenges each of us to answer this question and examine our contribution to an inclusive, vibrant community. The thoughts and answers collected will be shared with Myron and will play a pivotal role in shaping Myron’s final piece for the exhibit, making it a truly collaborative experience.
Join us in answering this meaningful question below and share with your friends. Visit the museum later in the year to see how Myron transforms our thoughts into art as part of his final piece in the "Where Do We Go From Here?" exhibit.
About the Exhibit
Known for his vibrant realism and deep emotional storytelling, Curry brings Martin Luther King Jr.'s urgent question to life through stunning portraits and evocative scenes that challenge, inspire, and unite. More than an exhibit, it’s a call to action, an artistic journey into the soul of a community striving for justice and equality. Each piece embodies the strength, beauty, and hope of the Black experience while inviting viewers to reflect on solutions: keep fighting, uniting, building, and creating change together. The artwork features a variety of iconic figures ranging from Martin Luther King Jr. to Tupac Shakur, alongside intimate moments of Black resilience—such as a mother lovingly braiding her daughter’s hair—and powerful depictions of the 2020 BLM protests.
Afterward, make sure to attend our artist talks and community engagement events here at the NAAM and at M. Curry Designs to continue the conversation and explore Myron Curry’s broader vision of impact-based art that empowers underrepresented voices and inspires connection.
