Join BU Art Galleries at Boston University College of Fine Arts for "As, Not For: Dethroning Our Absolutes" curated by Jerome Harris.

November 4, 2020–February 19, 2021
Boston University Art Galleries, Stone Gallery
855 Commonwealth Ave

"As, Not For" aims to promote the inclusion of neglected Black designers and their developed methodologies and challenge the ubiquity of White and anti-Black aesthetics in our designed world. These practitioners are absent in too many classroom lectures, and their methods mostly invisible or uncredited in the field.

Curator Jerome Harris describes, “The exhibit seeks to question, inspire, activate, and challenge the design community and beyond with the objective of promoting deep history, design theory, and aesthetics of African-Americans.”

Harris is working with BU School of Visual Arts Graphic Design students Ashlie Dawkins, Gabriela Ferrari, Jay Li, Angela Lian, and Assistant Professor of Art, Mary Yang, on this iteration of the exhibition for the BU Art Galleries. The exhibition will be open to the BU community and a virtual tour will be available to the general public.

Harris will also be giving a virtual lecture for BU SVA’s Tuesday Night Lecture Series on November 10 at 7:30pm EST. This lecture series is hosted by the BU School of Visual Arts MFA programs in Painting, Sculpture, and Graphic Design.

For lecture registration details and further information, visit bu.edu/cfa/lecture-series.

“The grid system I created for the BUAG posters is based on the ceiling patterns of the 808 Gallery and the Stone Gallery. The visible grid ties the posters together while highlighting the old architecture of the newly renovated galleries.”
