The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism 展 (The Metropolitan Museum of Art ).各種書、語音,文字,短片 (精彩)...... I, Too, Sing America: Music in the Life of Langston Hughes. "Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly."

In February 2024, The Metropolitan Museum of Art will present the groundbreaking exhibition The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism. Through some 160 works of painting, sculpture, photography, film, and ephemera, it will explore the comprehensive and far-reaching ways in which Black artists portrayed everyday modern life in the new Black cities that took shape in the 1920s–40s in New York City’s Harlem and nationwide in the early decades of the Great Migration when millions of African Americans began to move away from the segregated rural South. The first art museum survey of the subject in New York City since 1987, the exhibition will establish the Harlem Renaissance and its radically new development of the modern Black subject as central to the development of international modern art.
