Higher Pictures

Presentation Details
The subject of a solo presentation with Higher Pictures Generation, D’Angelo Lovell Williams is a Black, HIV-positive artist expanding narratives of Black and queer intimacy and masculinity through photography. Their portraits and performative scenes visualize a spectrum of care, kinship, and vulnerability in the dynamics between family members, friends, and lovers. Although Williams’s work is guided by their lived experience, it also interrogates their perspective, raising wider questions around the representation of race, class, sexuality, and gender. As Williams has observed, “the history of art has always been, dangerously, white, straight, and male.”
