Black Sun, Rise opens Thursday, October 29, at Gallery 72, 72 Marietta Street NW, with a free evening event listed from 7 p.m. The exhibition explores the emotional and social transitions that Black boys experience moving toward adolescence. It is a distinct cultural choice rather than another Halloween attraction.
The subject may be especially interesting to a parent of growing boys: how images and objects represent identity before adulthood starts imposing expectations. A group exhibition also gives you several artistic perspectives in a single stop, making it a worthwhile short visit even if you do not know the participating artists.
The listing says the exhibition continues into November, so tonight is not the only opportunity. Check the gallery or event link for the opening program and access details before heading downtown.
