This week we hosted the In the Black Fantastic artist and friends view 📸🔮🥂 Lina Iris Viktor (@linairisviktor) shared some images of the evening alongside her thoughts on the incredible opening: "I am lost for words when reflecting on the magnitude and importance of ‘In the Black Fantastic'... It was a dream to be one of the eleven artists granted free reign for our imaginations to roam as we reflected on the subject matter within our practices. Excited to share the red installation of eleven new & existing works, and to be exhibiting alongside some of the best contemporary artists today. Moreover, I had the pleasure of working with the stellar curatorial team the Hayward Gallery to bring our visions to life. So grateful to Ekow Eshun, Ralph Rugoff, Thomas Sutton, Debbie Meniru, Archie Bell, Stephanie Busson and Cedar Lewisohn all of whom brought this exhibition to life. And to the extended team at Hayward Gallery and The Southbank Centre - thank you" Lina Iris Viktor 📍 Hayward Gallery (London) 📅 Until 18 September 2022 🔗 More Info & Booking link in bio PARTICIPATING ARTISTS #NickCave | #SedrickChisom | #EllenGallagher | #HewLocke | #WangechiMutu | #RashaadNewsome | #ChrisOfili | #TabitaRezaire | #CauleenSmith | #LinaIrisViktor | #KaraWalker #Afrofuturism #Folklore #Mythology #ScienceFiction #SciFi #Painting #Photography #Video #Sculpture #Installation #Art #BlackArt #BlackArtist #Gallery #GalleryOpening #HaywardGallery #SouthbankCentre
