Inter | Sectionality: Diaspora Art from the Creole City, is a bold, multidisciplinary curatorial collaboration and exploration of the emergence of the “Creole City” as a local, regional, and global phenomenon. Curated by Sanjit Sethi and Rosie Gordon-Wallace the exhibition is a collaboration that provides a lens through which communities and community leaders internationally can begin to better understand themselves, their diversity and their unlimited possibilities. The exhibition is presented at a time when diaspora artists and voices are challenging social justice, celebrating identities, and reaching and bridging communities through contemporary art and scholarship. The complexities and diversities represented by the exhibition are emergent and, in many cases, ascendant across the world.
Inter/Sectionality: Diaspora Art from the Creole City
1964
Philip Johnson commissioned Warhol to make a large-scale work for the exterior for his pavilion for the New York World’s Fair, along with other artists. Warhol’s provocative response, a multiple portrait of ‘Most Wanted Men’ was installed a few days before the opening but was deemed too inflammatory and contrary to the upbeat image of the World’s Fair and the work was taken down.
