The exhibition Blackness is… the Refusal to be Reduced focuses on contemporary art that explores intertwined concepts of materiality, the body, memory, and resilience. The exhibition centers Blackness, offering a counternarrative to the homogenous story often told in museums, making visible the often invisible with ephemeral materials and conceptual works by contemporary Black western art and artists. Blackness is… the Refusal to be Reduced is part of the [re]Frame: Haub Family Collection of Western American Art project at Tacoma Art Museum. This exhibition is organized by Tacoma Art Museum and curated by Nikesha Breeze.
