On display at LatchKey Gallery through March 20, "Last Supper" is a group exhibition curated by Tamecca Seril that completely re-imagines Leonardo da Vinci's historical work.
Full disclosure: the gallery is actually a nomadic one, with two locations in New York, one at 323 Canal Street and the other in Industry City. The show will be on view at both destinations, albeit by appointment only at the Manhattan one.
"Showcasing the exhibition in two locations allows LatchKey Gallery to further it’s mission in fostering meaningful community engagement and accessibility to art, while also expanding the platform of visual representation for our participating artists," reads the official press release regarding the show.
In total, twelve Black female artists contributed works now on display across a variety of mediums, including Shervone Neckles, Dana Robinson, Turiya Magadlela, Josie Love Roebuck and Ariel Dannielle.
The show's title is a clear call out to the biblical event referenced in the original "The Last Supper," but this updated "version" of it "aims to fill the dearth of Black female voices at the contemporary, metaphoric table." How is it doing that? By virtually building a new "table" that brings Black female voices to the forefront of conversations.
