At the cross section of 139th Street and Frederick Douglass Blvd. in Harlem, Gallery 8 prompts a second look with its floor to ceiling glass windows that tease passersby.
In its second show within the space FACTION Art Projects pays homage to the area, turning its lens inward to mainly highlight artists of color who live and work above 110th Street.
A stone throw away from Strivers’ Row, an affluent black enclave during the area’s renaissance in the 1920s and 30s, Harlem Perspectives is a fitting nod to the neighborhood.
