Monuments: The Earth Exhibition of Sun Ra is the coda of Libby Werbel's We. Construct.Marvels.Between.Monuments series at the Portland Art Museum. That is a year long series curated by Werbel who also curated the Portland Museum of Modern Art.
Sun Ra (1914-1994) was a visionary musician and seminal Afrofuturist. His underground film Space is the Place 1972 is worth a watch. The Black Panther film 2018 is an update to Afrofuturism. This afternoon the exhibit opens with live local performances in collaboration with Portland's Deep Underground.
The show is up until January 27. Opening event today. https://portlandartmuseum.org/exhibitions/we-construct-marvels-between-monuments/.
