Tewodros Hagos takes part in a group exhibitoon called "Double ID" exploiring the identity of black man. Exchibition featuring works from the CCH Pounder-Koné collection at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History.
The exhibition’s curatorial framework was conceptualized by Neil A. Barclay, President and CEO of The Wright, in consideration of the legacies of double consciousness and its continued relevance in the contemporary Black experience. First presented in Du Bois’ 1903 collection of essays The Souls of Black Folk, double consciousness describes the dissonance of Black self-perception within a dominant white society, and the conflicting journey to understanding oneself as a result.
Featuring works by an intergenerational group of artists across the African Diaspora, Double ID paints a multifaceted portrait of Black masculinity, challenging stereotypes about Black men throughout history and culture. The selection of featured artists range from those with emerging practices to internationally renowned artists including Greg Bailey, Elizabeth Catlett, Louis Delsarte, Tewodros Hagos, Sesse Ngeselin-Elangwe, Fahamu Pecou, Ebony G. Patterson, Malick Sidibé, Alexi Torres and Kehinde Wiley.
“We are so thrilled to be back at the Wright Museum showing other aspects of contemporary African diasporic works in our collection,” says actress, collector and gallerist CCH Pounder. “We look forward to hearing the questions, controversies and joy it will create.”
