Rising Sun PAFA Tour
Advance registration is required.
Join us for a small group tour of the much anticipated exhibition, Rising Sun: Artists in an Uncertain America at PAFA. In a time when perspectives about human rights, equality, free speech, and other democratic principles are radically disparate, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) and African American Museum in Philadelphia (AAMP) invited twenty artists to create new works that respond to the critical question: Is the sun rising or setting on the experiment of American democracy? Two historic museums come together for a transformative exhibition of contemporary art. Join the African American Museum in Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts for Rising Sun: Artists in an Uncertain America, an exhibition of new works examining the provocative and timely question: “Is the sun rising or setting on the experiment of American democracy?
In this tour, you will experience powerful and beautiful works by the 11 artists exhibiting at PAFA: Shiva Ahmadi, Tiffany Chung, Lenka Clayton, Petah Coyne, Eamon Ore-Giron, Alison Saar, Rose B. Simpson, Sheida Soleimani, Dyani White Hawk, Wilmer Wilson IV, and Saya Woolfalk.
