Arthur Jafa

After two decades in film, Arthur Jafa has now stepped onto the art scene. In his works, he reveals the history of American racism and explores the historic and contemporary conditions for African-American visual culture. For the exhibition at Moderna Museet, Jafa has invited the photographer Ming Smith and the visual artist Frida Orupabo, and incorporated material from Missylanyus’ Youtube channel, to create an audio-visual experience that is both politically reflective and visionary.
