30 Americans

Glenn Ligon
The 7/8's went to the Detroit Institute of Art to see the much talked about exhibit 30 Americans. The exhibit was expansive, showing colossal works from painter Kehinde Wiley to the innovative Soundsuit by Nick Cave. A poignant piece titled America by Glenn Ligon was one of many works discussed and journaled on, post-tour during lunch and on our bus return home.
