UNBOUND: Art, Blackness, and the Universe
Curated by Key Jo Lee, MoAD’s Chief of Curatorial Affairs and Public Programs, UNBOUND invites visitors to reimagine Blackness not as fixed or earthbound, but as infinite—expansive, unknowable, and cosmically rich.
What if we approached Blackness with the same wonder we bring to the universe? What if, like a black hole or distant star, Blackness could be a site of mystery, power, and transformation?
