Presenting works culled from the KIA’s collection, combined with borrowed works from around the U.S., Unmasking Masculinity for the 21st Century will investigate how artists use tradition, contemporary practice, and performance to explore the construction of masculinity in North America. Co-curated by Rehema Barber, Chief Curator of the KIA, and highly acclaimed independent curator Larry Ossei-Mensah, they seek to create an exhibition that is also a forum to engage the community in conversations led by artists, community members, and scholars.
