Sherald paints Black life with quiet power and perfect poise. Her portraits glow from within—otherworldly yet unmistakably real. You feel the stillness, the grace, and the invitation to really see.

Dyson’s monumental steel forms shape how you move and breathe through space. She’s thinking about freedom, geography, and the body—and how abstract art can hold all of that at once.

Black Atlantic brings together five artists whose works speak to the histories, migrations, and material cultures shaped by the African diaspora. Installed along Brooklyn Bridge Park’s waterfront, the exhibition reimagines public space as a site of resilience and reclamation—where sculpture, form, and narrative move fluidly between land and sea, past and present.

A show that’s all about connection—threads, textures, hands. Intimate works that expand the idea of weaving into something tender and radical.

In I’m, Deborah Roberts confronts the narratives that shape Black childhood and identity through layered collage and portraiture. Her figures—composed from fragments of media, history, and imagination—stand powerful, vulnerable, and wholly human.

Leonard looks slowly and asks us to do the same. Her photographs linger on the edges of things—borders, seams, the places where one story touches another.
