EXPERIENCE: Black Voices at the Met
This exhibition, which celebrates the extensive contributions made by African American artists at the Met and chronicles the decades-long struggle for racial equality in the nation’s leading opera company, was created in connection with the 2019 new production of Porgy and Bess and originally installed in the opera house. It is being presented in this digital format as part of the Met’s observation of Black History Month 2021 and to ensure that this exploration of an important part of the company’s history is widely available.
