Kehinde Wiley’s portrait of President Obama and Amy Sherald’s portrait of the former First Lady are on a five-city tour; the exhibition also includes teacher workshops, curatorial tours, and a book.

Amy Sherald is in conversation with journalist and author Elaine Welteroth on Sunday, November 7 at 6pm.

Black American Portraits spans from 1800 to today and reframes portraiture to center Black American subjects, sitters, and spaces.
