Ajamu Kojo
GREAT AMERICANS

Brooklyn-based artist and filmmaker Ajamu Kojo presents GREAT AMERICANS: Selected Paintings (2013-2024), a powerful exhibition that examines and celebrates Black excellence through the lens of American history. The collection features meticulously crafted portraits using the Mischtechnik, including the striking centerpiece "A Portrait of George Washington and His Slaves," which incorporates gold leaf and confronts the complex legacy of America's first president. This piece first premeiered at the Delta Triennial exhibition with the Arkansas Museum of fine arts in 2024.
