"Reveal the Beauty: The Literature and Art of the Harlem Renaissance" celebrates the centennial of the Harlem Renaissance and its role in shaping African American artistic expression.
Inspired by Howard University philosopher Alain Locke's essay, "The Legacy of Ancestral Arts," in his landmark volume The New Negro (1925), Reveal the Beauty: The Literature and Art of the Harlem Renaissance celebrates the centennial of the Harlem Renaissance and its role in shaping African American artistic expression from the 1920s to the 1940s. Often defined as the cultural arts period of the New Negro movement, these dynamic years redefined Black identity and challenged stereotypes through a probing array of literature and visual arts. While closely associated with Harlem, its influence reached Black communities across the U.S., South Florida, and worldwide.
Reveal the Beauty: The Literature and Art of the Harlem Renaissance is organized by the African American Research Library and Research Center and is curated by Christopher Norwood, founder of Hampton Art Lovers, in consultation with Shawn Christian, professor of English at Florida International University, and AARLC staff.
The reception is sponsored by the Friends of AARLCC.
