On September 21, the African American Museum in Philadelphia will unveil a dynamic new exhibition, Mixing Metaphors: The Aesthetic, the Social and the Political in African American Art.

Mixing Metaphors is composed of more than 90 paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, sculptures and mixed media works by 36 artists, including talented Philadelphia native Allen Edmonds.

The exhibit was guest curated by Deborah Willis and will help celebrate the AAMP’s 35th anniversary. Willis says, “I wanted to focus on how African-American artists define and explore the concepts of beauty and abstraction when depicting moments from the extraordinary to the mundane.”
