In a gallery talk, Creative Assembly Cohort member Kr3wcial discusses Roberto Lugo’s “Stunting” Garniture Set, on view on the museum’s second floor. Kr3wcial talks about the artwork, which was commissioned for NOMA’s permanent collection, and its connection to hip-hop and New Orleans culture.
In Roberto Lugo’s own words, the work “references influential members of the Black New Orleans community in American society, highlighting the visual connection between hip-hop ‘bling’ and Sèvres porcelain in NOMA’s collection.”
