'Say It Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud)'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Aug 13, 2020

On July 31, Beyonce dropped her visual album "Black Is King." Rich with symbolism and luxurious styling, it's an unapologetic ode to Black creativity. Featured in the film are paintings and sculptures by a number of artists including Kehinde Wiley and Derrick Adams. In fact, Derrick Adams' portrait of a Black woman with long braids is inspired by a native Harlemite making her name in the art industry, Destinee Ross-Sutton. She was selected to curate Christie's new virtual art exhibition, "Say it Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud)." She joins the show to discuss the exhibition, which is online through August 18.
