Esmaa Mohamoud, #000000 VIOLENCE: YYZ Artists' Outlet | Toronto, CA

#000000 VIOLENCE is an exhibition that investigates the Black male body in contemporary culture and the (in)tangibility of Blackness through the exploration of athletics—specifically, the sport of basketball. Utilizing the visual vernacular of basketball to delineate structural violence, the works explore contemporary notions of Black masculinity enunciated and examined through the frame of reference of a Black woman.
