This short article highlights the pivotal work of Black artists who assisted to bring African-American experiences into the elite art world. Black Arts as a movement speaks straight to the requirements and goals of Black America. The Black artist speaks to the spiritual and cultural requirements of Black people in their artistry.
The professionals of Black arts are inspired by a desire to face white power structures and assert an African American cultural identity. Black arts aim to serve the community and artists.
Word has it that Anna Wintour may follow up Kanye West’s performance at last year’s Met Gala with another rapper.
It’s rumored that Frank Ocean will take the stage at fashion’s biggest night this year, reports New York Post. This won’t be Ocean’s first time attending the event, as he walked the gala’s red carpet last year.
Among the stars who will be attending the “Charles James: Beyond Fashion”-themed ball: Lupita Nyong’o and Michelle Dockery, who will be wearing Prada; Zoe Saldana in Prabal Gurung; Amanda Seyfried in Givenchy; Margot Robbie and Olivia Munn in Diane von Furstenberg; and Zooey Deschanel in Tommy Hilfiger.
Ocean’s camp has yet to confirm or deny.
How do you feel about Frank performing at an event like this? Will he fit in? What’s your favorite song by the singer?
