Open House: The Ten Commandments of Renée Cox

Celebrate the opening of “The Ten Commandments of Renée Cox” at Art on Hulfish. Learn more about the art on view from the artist, Renée Cox, and the exhibition’s curator, Klaudia Ofwona Draber, executive director and curator at KODA. 

Across works in a range of media, the artist Renée Cox uses her own body to celebrate Black womanhood, occupy multiple identities and realities, and deconstruct historical stereotypes. From her first self-portrait (1980) to her latest work (2023), this retrospective exhibition investigates sexism, the racially dehumanizing commodification of the Black body, gender fluidity, and the power of Afrofuturism.  

The Ten Commandments of Renée Cox” is curated by Klaudia Ofwona Draber and organized by KODA.
