Titled after the 1929 Louis Armstrong song 'When You're Smiling (The Whole World Smiles With You),' the exhibition challenges the Western canon by reconfiguring renowned paintings with Black protagonists or portraying figures reminiscent of European portraiture.
The exhibition showcases how Black artists distort, simplify, or caricature Black figures to highlight stereotypes or envision Black bodies beyond imposed limitations.
