ArtsConnect: The Dirty South at MCA Denver

CBCA Members and their employees are invited to request up to two complimentary tickets to visit The Dirty South: Contemporary Art, Material Culture, and the Sonic Impulse at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Denver.  

The Dirty South: Contemporary Art, Material Culture, and the Sonic Impulse explores the aesthetic legacies and traditions of Black Culture in the African American South as seen through the lens of contemporary Black musical expression. Lauded by critics from The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, this exhibition argues for the importance of the American South and Black culture as critical to our understanding of America’s past, present, and future. Occupying all three floors of galleries at MCA Denver, The Dirty South will make visible the roots of Southern hip hop culture and reveal how the aesthetic traditions of the African American South have shaped visual art and musical expression over the last 100 years.

“MCA Denver is proud to bring this exhibition to the Mountain West, as an opportunity to more deeply engage with our own identity as Americans and as a foregrounding of the need for our own deep research and unpacking of the dialogues relevant to our region,” says Miranda Lash, MCA Denver’s Ellen Bruss Senior Curator.
