Revisiting The Race, Myth, Art, and Justice Exhibition
Originally presented by the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI) and now archived on Google Arts & Culture, The Race, Myth, Art, and Justice exhibition remains a potent meditation on how images shape identity — and how artists reclaim that power.
Bringing together the work of twelve photographers, the show traces the intersections of race, mythology, and social consciousness. Each image challenges inherited narratives, subverting the colonial and cultural myths that have long defined who is seen, how they are portrayed, and what is believed. Through the lens of contemporary practice, beauty and justice become intertwined acts of resistance — art as both mirror and reimagining.
Though originally on view from 2018 to 2019, its digital life gives it renewed resonance. Revisiting the exhibition today underscores how the conversations it sparked — around representation, belonging, and truth-telling — continue to shape the creative landscape. The work endures as both archive and awakening: a visual record of artists rewriting myth to make room for justice.
