DETROIT (AP) — An exhibit on works by artists during the civil rights movement is opening at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
The museum says “Art of Rebellion” runs now through Oct. 22.
It is part of a community-wide reflection on the 1967 Detroit riot and features 34 paintings, sculptures and photographs mostly by African American artists working both collectively and independently in the 1960s and 1970s.
The exhibition also includes works by artists who were not part of a collective and artists working in later decades who were inspired by art from the civil rights movement.
