Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys At The High Museum

Written By Tyra Douyon

Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys at The High Museum in Atlanta offers a powerful space to reflect, connect, and draw inspiration–especially for Black Atlantans. The exhibit’s arresting pieces are a celebration of the living artistic “giants” who anchor our communities. This collection aims to educate art collectors, curators, and enthusiasts to learn more about who “owns” Black culture and the underbelly of art curation and sales for present-day Black artists. The exhibition runs from September 13, 2024, to January 19, 2025.
