At The Fairs

EPISODE 2

Allana Clarke

Good Black Art heads to EXPO Chicago, one of the leading international art fairs, for a Shorts episode with artist Allana Clarke and Kavi Gupta gallery. Clarke's visceral, material-driven practice transforms rituals of Black beauty into monumental form, turning the intimate into the undeniable. We follow her through a 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.
