June 12, 2026 - March 28, 2027
MÉCA, Bordeaux, FR
The exhibition brings together nearly fifty artists whose work engages with the legacies of colonial slavery. The artists seek to expand the forms memory can take, to illuminate and inhabit the "gaps" in official history, and to create from the gestures and traces of resistance. They are grounded in the premise that the world we inhabit cannot be understood without this "blackground"—a black backdrop that resists from within the very history of domination.

MFA student Charles Glaubitz has two works in the collection of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art: El Borracho (2019), an ink-on-paper drawing, and El Show del Niño Burro (2014), a portfolio of five two-color etchings. Both works are part of Glaubitz’s larger narrative practice, which draws from comics, mythology, popular culture, and the visual language of the U.S.–Mexico border to construct speculative worlds and contemporary mythologies. Founded by George Lucas and Mellody Hobson, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art celebrates the power of visual storytelling.
