This week’s Culturally Curious Hop saw The Wick in conversation with visionary New York-based artist Mickalene Thomas, whose new exhibition, All About Love, is currently on display at Hayward Gallery.

Curated by Rachel Thomas, Chief Curator at Hayward Gallery, the exhibition delves into over two decades of Thomas’ groundbreaking portraiture that highlights the strength, resilience, and beauty of African-American women and icons.

All About Love is a celebration of empowerment. The title itself draws from the work of author and activist bell hooks, who profoundly explored love as a force of healing and transformation. In this exhibition, Thomas amplifies these ideals, offering a visual tribute to love in all its forms.
