Featuring the work of Jamel Shabazz, Nema Etebar, Adrian Franks, Khalik Allah and Akintola Hanif, this exhibition is a visual commentary through photography, film, and design, examining the methods and effects of a modern genocide.

Love,Strength, and Soul, is a series of works by Brooklyn-based portrait artist, Tim Okamura, on view through Art Basel Miami Beach week from November 22 to January 10, 2015. Known for his hyper-realistic, large-scale portraits of African American women, this exhibition will feature both as-yet-unseen new pieces alongside more familiar works, functioning as an introductory whirlwind to Okamura’s oeuvre.
