re.riddle presents Future Lore of Blackness a solo exhibition of new work by Nyame Brown, from September 1-30. Can the imagined alternate-realities of science-fiction make room for a more just present? Future Lore of Blackness offers work by Nyame Brown which deploys fantasy and science fiction as a strategy to elevate Black communities. His paintings utilize the formal structure of a traditional art historical narrative with Afrosurreal aesthetics, resulting in contemporary history paintings of the Black future.
By using Renaissance and Baroque compositional techniques to tell stories of the African diaspora, American folklore, and contemporary hip hop culture, Brown usurps Western patriarchal power structures to introduce new ways of social transformation and paradigms of equity.
Explore Nyame Brown's self-determined Black alternate realities in Future Lore of Blackness at 1632 Market Street in San Francisco, September 1-30.
