Summer Friday at Fotografiska (Private Tour)

BLACK VENUS is an exhibition that surveys the legacy of Black women in visual culture – from fetishized, colonial-era caricatures, to the present-day reclamation of the rich complexity of Black womanhood by 19 artists (of numerous nationalities and with birth years spanning 1942 to 1997). This exhibition is a celebration of Black beauty, an investigation into the many faces of Black femininity and the shaping of Black women in the public conscious – then and now.

TICKETS ARE LIMITED. RESERVE YOUR SPOT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. FIRST 10 WHO REGISTER WILL RECEIVE 1 FREE DRINK TICKET (Good for 1 glass of bubbly, wine, beer, soda, tea, or drip coffee from the Lobby Café)

A Fotografiska Associate will be your tour guide and will give a one-hour guided tour of the Black Venus exhibition. After your tour, you may visit the other exhibitions and the museum at your leisure.

These exhibitions are currently on view:
James Nachtwey: Memoria
Black Venus, a group exhibition
Tony Gum: Milked in Africa
And, Laurence Philomene: Puberty, a small exhibition in our 6th floor Loft.

Fotografiska New York is the NYC location of the renowned Stockholm-based destination for the world’s best photography. Founded in 2010, Fotografiska was built on the foundation of photography as a haven for inclusivity and free expression.

Our goal is to inspire a more conscious world through the art of photography. We showcase the greatest photographers, whether they’re emerging artists or already established internationally.

The building is a registered landmark built in 1894 and originally named “The Church Mission House”. We’ve renovated this iconic jewel to be a new experience of world-class art, cultural events, retail, and epicurean dining, in an awe-inspiring space.

Thank you to board president and volunteer, Chris Cantley of Cantley Art+Design for organizing this event.

Cost includes a private tour from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
