- Summary
- Luminós/C/ity.Ordinary Joy: From the Pigozzi Contemporary African Art Collection celebrates the inaugural exhibition of the same name at the Ethelbert Cooper Gallery of African and African American Art at the Hutchins Center in Fall 2014. The works discussed range from photography of the 1940s to video produced some seventy years later, and together the essays reflect upon and explore the exhibition as "a critical thesis on the contemporary condition of the continent, one which sees the city as a device to explore the complexities and nuances of urban life." A considered part of the full exhibition experience, the catalog offers the reader entry into these cityscapes and the brilliant light of ordinary joy. Exhibition: Cooper Gallery of African and African American Art, Cambridge, USA (Fall 2014).
