Good Talks
Fair season doesn't slow down for the camera. So we didn't ask it to.
Good Black Art heads to EXPO Chicago, one of the leading international art fairs, for a two-part Shorts series with Kavi Gupta gallery. First, we walk the fair with Esmaa Mohamoud, whose sculptural work interrogates Black identity, athleticism, and visibility. Then we sit with Allana Clarke, whose visceral, material-driven practice transforms rituals of Black beauty into monumental form. Two artists, one gallery, and a front-row look at what fair season demands.
Between the booth builds, collector walkthroughs, and quiet moments before the doors open, these shorts capture what it means to show up during one of the art world's biggest weeks. This is fair season from the inside: the work, the pressure, and the pride of taking up space on an international stage.
