Curated by Andrea Barnwell Brownlee, Ph.D., director of the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art and Valerie Cassel Oliver, curator at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, 鈥淐inema Remixed and Reloaded鈥 traces the evolution of video presentation over three decades, chronicling the critical contributions of black women artists to the field of contemporary art. This collaboration encapsulates the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art鈥檚 unique mission as the only museum in the nation that focuses on works by and about women of the African Diaspora. Additionally, the exhibition reinforces the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston鈥檚 commitment to providing a forum for visual arts of the present and recent past to document new directions in the field of contemporary art.
