New Pantheon
28 July – 23 September 2022
More than 30 collages, works of video art, and an installation by contemporary Black artists, Pantheon Anew, were inspired by the history of Black American spirituality.
The installation, which was planned by artist Saira Barbaric, juxtaposes young people’s and adults’ pop culture to build a brand-new spiritual pantheon with fanciful animals.
The exhibition Barbaric encourages visitors to wander through it at their own pace and choose their own route.

Teams of garment designers and fine artists are partnered up to work together and produce work for an exhibition that includes a wearable work of art and a sizable installation based on a subject.
