“We're highlighting a Black existentialism as a framework within which to view the works,” Solomon said. She said the art featured at this year's fair evaluates Blackness as it exists without any social pressure from the dominant culture in any country. Mikhaile Solomon, who is the founder, director and curator, said the theme of this year’s PRIZM Art Fair is Black existentialism: interrogating what it means to be Black and African from a global context. The year 2020 is often viewed by social scientists and journalists as a year of “racial reckoning,” when many non-Black people became more aware of how Blackness functions in predominantly white spaces and within the confines of capitalism. Local journalists are working hard to keep you informed on the latest developments across South Florida. WLRN is here for you, even when life is unpredictable. The fair now includes both physical art pieces as well as digital non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, which are backed by blockchain technology. The Miami-based fair is one of the preeminent spaces showcasing prominent African contemporary artists from across the world. The Prizm Art Fair is back for its ninth exhibition featuring international artists from the African Diaspora, and this year, organizers are highlighting both physical and digital art.
