Los Angeles, CA | Tour of Mickalene Thomas: All About Love at The Broad with Assistant Curator, Jennifer Vanegas Rocha
September 11 | 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Join Jennifer Vinegas Rocha, Assistant Curator at The Broad, on an exclusive tour of Mickalene Thomas: All About Love. This major 20-year survey of Thomas’ work was co-organized by the Hayward Gallery in London and The Broad, in partnership with the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia.
About the exhibition: Debuting at The Broad with over 90 works made by the artist over the last 20 years, Mickalene Thomas: All About Love is the first major international tour of this pioneering artist’s work. The exhibition highlights how Mickalene Thomas has mastered and innovated within several disciplines, from mixed-media painting and collage to installation and photography. The exhibition shares its title and several of its themes with the pivotal text by feminist author bell hooks, in which love is an active process rooted in healing, carving a path away from domination and towards collective liberation. Through her queries into pop culture and mass media, Thomas offers a reverberating demand for Black women to be seen and understood, and for viewers to become what hooks calls “practitioners of love.”
