Mickalene Thomas / Portrait of an Unlikely Space, a new exhibition at Yale University Art Gallery coorganized by Thomas, features a selection of early American portraits of Black women, men, and children, alongside artworks by Thomas and other contemporary including as Adia Millett in a wide array of media, all situated within her signature homelike environment. With her unique, multifaceted approach, Thomas constructs an evocative space that is meant to engender a sense of community—for the individuals depicted in the historical objects, the artists whose work is represented in the show, and the visitors engaging with both the past and the present.
