Visible Man: Art and Black Male Subjectivity addresses the intersection of representation and perception in the portrayal of Black men through cultural, racialized and personal lenses. Curated by renowned art historian and BGSU School of Art alumnus, Dr. Michael Harris, this impactful, ambitious exhibition features contemporary African American and Afro-Caribbean artists, including celebrated masters and emerging stars. Comprised of digital works, installations and images, it portrays both historical and contemporary life.  Supported in part by the Ohio Arts Council, Ohio Humanities, and the BGSU Ethnic Cultural Arts Program.
