Arthur Jafa

“I Am Tony, the largest survey of artist and filmmaker Arthur Jafa’s four-decade career, examines the tension between Black American culture’s social and artistic ascent and the racial injustice and institutional violence Black people face.”

“Arthur Jafa, currently on view at The New Museum, started out as a cinematographer. After graduating from Howard, where he befriended the legendary culture critic Greg Tate, he shot “Daughters of the Dust” an indie-film darling written and directed by his then-wife Julie Dash.”
