Manhattan’s New Museum has received recognition in the New York
Times and Mother Jones magazine for its current exhibits of “Emory
Douglas: Black Panther!” and “The Deeper They Bury Me, The Louder
My Voice Becomes.” The political history and power of these unique shows
by artists Emory Douglas and Rigo 23 will be on view through Oct. 11.
The work by Douglas, the former Minister of Culture for the Black Panther
Party, includes 165 posters, newspapers and prints dating from 1967 to 1976.
Many of his illustrations appeared in the BPP newspaper. Curated by Los Angeles
artist Sam Durant, Douglas’ work has also been shown in Los Angeles.
Rigo 23, who is Portuguese, has dedicated his art to his many years in support
of U.S. prisoners.
The New Museum is located at 235 Bowery. For more information call
212-219-2222.
