Organized by Christine Y. Kim, Former Associate Curator, Flow is the third in a series of emerging artist exhibitions presented by the Studio Museum that includes Freestyle (2001) and Frequency (2005). Like its predecessors, Flow illustrates the individuality and complexity of twenty-first-century contemporary art, this time from creators around the world. While the majority of these artists have exhibited abroad, many were new to U.S. audiences at the time. As an extension of the Museum’s mission to serve as a nexus for artists of African descent locally, nationally and internationally, Flow reflects a critical moment in the interconnected histories of African, African-American and transnationalBlack life.
