This year marks the 250th anniversary of the United States. Among the numerous official celebrations of this in 2026, at Frieze New York, Brooklyn’s Jenkins Johnson Gallery is offering a layered take on this historical moment.
The gallery is showing four artists from the African diaspora across different generations: Gordon Parks and Wadsworth Jarrell (born respectively 1912 and 1929), and Lola Flash and Genevieve Gaignard (born 1959 and 1981).
