The de Young Museum presents a major retrospective of British artist Isaac Julien, featuring a 25-year collection of his works until July 13. Known for elaborate multi-channel installations, the exhibition explores themes of dislocation, journeys, and significant moments in Black culture. Key pieces include "Lessons of the Hour" focusing on Frederick Douglass and "Looking for Langston," which reimagines Queer Black identity. This exhibition not only showcases Julien's acclaimed recent pieces but also highlights foundational works that have shaped his artistic voice over the years.
Julien's "Lessons of the Hour" focuses on the oration of abolitionist Frederick Douglass, reimagining historical moments within Black culture and celebrating significant figures.
The exhibition features 10 major installations that coalesce around themes of dislocation and journeys, along with a narrative exploration of Queer Black identity.
