Njideka Akunyili Crosby in Conversation with Siddhartha Mitter at the Whitney

Sunday, September 8 at 3 PM, The Whitney Museum of American Art presents artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby in conversation with writer Siddhartha Mitter, in celebration of Akunyili Crosby's new monograph, "The Beautyful Ones," published by Victoria Miro.

Njideka Akunyili Crosby in Conversation with Siddhartha Mitter at the Whitney

For her ongoing series, "The Beautyful Ones," artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby paints portraits of children, including members of her own family, derived from personal photographs. More recently, the series has focused on images taken during her frequent visits to Nigeria, where she lived until the age of sixteen.

On the occasion of the publication of the monograph, "The Beautyful Ones," Akunyili Crosby will be joined in conversation by writer Siddhartha Mitter, who authored a new essay for the book. They will reflect on the series’ complex history and weave together the social, cultural, personal and political strands of its making. The discussion is followed by a book signing.

The event is co-organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art and The Studio Museum in Harlem. Tickets are required ($10 adults; $8 for members, students, seniors and visitors with disabilities).
