At The Fairs

EPISODE 1

Esmaa Mohamoud

Good Black Art heads to EXPO Chicago, one of the leading international art fairs, for a Shorts episode with artist Esmaa Mohamoud and Kavi Gupta gallery. Mohamoud's sculptural work interrogates Black identity, athleticism, and visibility, asking who gets to be seen and on whose terms. We follow her through fair week for a front-row look at what it means to bring that work to an international stage.

Between the booth build, collector walkthroughs, and the quiet moments before the doors open, this short captures fair season from the inside: the work, the pressure, and the pride of taking up space during one of the art world's biggest weeks. Watch the episode now.

"This exhibition has been about relieving and putting your guts out there."
