Description
Elia Alba: The Supper Club photographic portrait series depicts U.S.-based artists of colour. Alongside the portraits are excerpts from dinner conversations addressing issues that relate to race and visual culture on themes including sanctuary, policing, post-black identity, and intersectional identities connecting gender, race, and privilege.
Elia Alba: The Supper Club focuses on racial politics and visual culture. Curated by Sara Reisman for The Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation, The Supper Club is comprised of socially-engaged dinners and portraits of artist participants. Alba began photographing artists of colour like LaToya Ruby Frazier and Mickalene Thomas in 2012.
To give voice to her community, Alba hosted dinners, 25 so far, with themes like Baltimore, Race and Identity (in honour of Freddy Gray), and Racial Subjugation in Latin America. Inspired by Vanity Fair's "Hollywood Issue," Alba's portraits capture each artist's unique voice, transforming them into iconic images.
