Though Kara Walker seemed to be making political statements on the gallery walls, her artist statement and the show title were in my opinion the most politically charged. You can feel her resentment for being the poster child for black contemporary art and racial politics in art. The show itself seemed like a response to the art world hype; basically saying Kara Walker's work is dope, we hate the criticism but love the hype.

Fences is a slow quiet family drama that I would suggest to anybody to watch. It's subtle, yet packs in lots of intensity with steady cinematography and a few interesting plot twists.

Kerry James Marshall is a Living Legend in the art world. His retrospective is brilliant and actually lives up to the hype. Its just too bad this show can't stay up forever!
Rashid Johnson's show "Fly Away" is a great season opener for Hauser & Wirth Gallery NY. Simple yet complicated, some things were definitely better than others.

Moonlight is a coming of age drama that lived up to the hype. I suggest any one see it at least once. Not very dialogue heavy but the cinematography is brilliant. Director and cast deliver a brilliant performance.
Hidden Figures is like a historic retelling of black women who who changed the game and worked for NASA. A behind the scenes look at this story felt like it was literally hidden until this film came out. Great story, even a learning tool. Not quite a tear jerker, but the emotion was there.

Two Strong Female Artists create one strong show. Kate Gilmore and Karen Heagle combined efforts to make a unique gallery experience.
Trenton Doyle Hancock is a star in the art-world. I like how bold and colorful his work is. One the other-hand I wish the narratives were more pronounced. His bright colors and creative figure narratives captivate his audience, but how about you?
Leonardo Drew's Sculptural abstraction is epic and beautiful to look at. The artist doesn't hint at too much content but lets the audience decide what these black massive forms and compositions mean in the white cube of Sikkema Jenkins gallery.
There is a new Netflix show to binge on called ‘The Get Down’. I first found out about this show on...
