Myth of a Colorblind France
Opens Today!
For
more than a century Black artists have traveled to Paris to liberate
themselves from the racism of the United States. What made these
artistic innovators choose France? And is France truly colorblind?
Myth of a Colorblind France explores these questions by looking at the
lives and careers of renowned artists who emigrated to Paris, including
Josephine Baker, James Baldwin, Augusta Savage, Richard Wright and
more.
"Artistry
Abroad! A history of eminent African-Americans who have lived in
France, interweaving the thoughts of Black artists residing there today
with the stories of figures who traveled to the country in the 19th
century."
