“OUR humanity is bound up in HERS, for we can only be human together.”[sic]~Desmond Tutu 🤍🤍🤍 @withregram • @vanityfair Presenting Breonna Taylor for Vanity Fair’s September issue, “The Great Fire.” Five months have passed since police killed Breonna Taylor in her own home, a violent crime that our September issue guest editor Ta-Nehisi Coates ascribes to a belief in Black people as a disaster, as calamity. “I don’t know how else to comprehend the jackboots bashing in Breonna Taylor’s door and spraying her home with bullets, except the belief that they were fighting some Great Fire—demonic, unnatural, inhuman.” Coates chose the "The Great Fire" as the theme for the issue, which assembles activists, artists, and writers to offer a portrait of hope in a world where the possibility of a legitimate anti-racist majority is emerging for the first time in American history. “Something is happening,” writes @tanehisipcoates, “and I think to understand it, we must better understand the nature of this Great Fire.” For his cover story, Coates tells Breonna’s story through the words of her mother. Also in the issue: an oral history of the historic days after George Floyd's death; a portfolio of creatives and visionaries who capture the spirit—and urgency—of the moment; director @ava DuVernay's conversation with revolutionary Angela Davis; and much more. Read “The Great Fire” at the link in bio now. Painting by Amy Sherald (@asherald).

Opening today: ‘The World We Make’ across both London galleries @hauserwirth and on view through 23 December 💙 #AmySherald #HauserWirthOnFilm #hwonfilm

It’s always a privilege to celebrate the beauty and significance of art alongside such a passionate and talented community.

@asherald and @jonbatiste first met through a mutual friend—one of Sherald’s best-known subjects whom the pair simply call “Michelle.” Batiste, winner of multiple Grammys and an Academy Award, first met the Obamas when they produced “American Symphony,” the documentary about his album of the same name. Sherald’s portrait of the former first lady earned her the grand prize in the 2016 Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition from the National Portrait Gallery—making her both the first woman and first African American to do so. For their cover story in CULTURED’s Artists on Artists issue, the friends met up for a candid discussion about the pressures that come with accessing such rarefied air.

Introducing the Artists on Artists issue starring @asherald and @jonbatiste. It’s been a busy year for the history-making painter and musician. Amy Sherald just opened “American Sublime,” her mid-career survey and largest exhibition yet, at the @sfmoma; while Jon Batiste returned to his classical roots with his recent album “Beethoven Blues,” which presents modern renditions of the canonical composer’s works. Despite their sweeping impacts on contemporary culture, both artists—shot by @danascruggs in Sherald’s New Jersey studio—are careful to protect the delicate filament, that “pure thing,” at the heart of their work. “When you’re in that flow state, sometimes you forget how you got to the end result. I feel like a vessel. I work hard so I can then be in the moment like a kid,” Batiste tells Sherald. “It’s like a trance,” the painter adds. “The ideas come, and I do what I’m told.” To read the full conversation between Amy Sherald and Jon Batiste and pre-order your copy of the Artists on Artists issue, head to the link in bio.

It’s official! ✨ My first museum survey, AMERICAN SUBLIME, opens this week @sfmoma 🖼️ November 16, 2024 – March 9, 2025. It’s been an incredible journey. The show will be nearly 50 paintings.

With less than two weeks remaining, it’s essential to prioritize our own stability to effectively support others. The stakes are clear, as are the critical issues before us—threats to entire communities, LGBTQIA+ rights, reproductive autonomy, judicial appointments, immigration reform, economic stability, education, mental health, and gun regulation…I can keep going. #vote #beresponsible #kamalaforpresident

Thank you, @chanelofficial , for such a wonderful evening celebrating the inimitable @samuelljackson at the 2024 MoMA Film Benefit.

October 18th my longtime friend and painter Titus Kaphar will have his @exhibitingforgivenessfilm debuted in theaters nation wide. It’s only in theaters ONE DAY. In a world that often feels divided, the film reminds us of the power of empathy and understanding. It encourages audiences to reconsider the importance of second chances, both for others and ourselves. This movie is more than just entertainment—it’s an emotional experience that prompts reflection and conversation long after the credits roll. Don’t miss the opportunity to see this powerful story. Head to their page for more info. So proud of you Titus 😭
