by Unknown Artist, 1983
Lorraine O'Grady documented her 1983 guerrilla performance at the African American Day Parade in Harlem. She and performers in white carried empty gold frames through the crowd, framing spectators as living artworks.
The performance challenged who gets seen as art and who gets to define it. O'Grady invited parade-goers to see themselves as worthy subjects, pushing back against the exclusions of mainstream art institutions.
The photographic documentation at PAMM preserves this key moment in Black performance art and conceptual practice.
Luxury wall art with the same mood and energy. Gallery-quality canvas, no museum crowds.
