Ritm Naara / 2020: A New Collection of Contemporary Art
Ritm Naara / 2020 is a new collection of contemporary art that showcases the works of emerging and established artists from different countries and cultures. The collection features paintings, sculptures, installations, photography, and video art that explore themes such as identity, memory, history, and social issues.
The collection is curated by Ritm Naara, a non-profit organization that aims to promote cultural diversity and dialogue through art. Ritm Naara was founded in 2017 by a group of artists, curators, and activists who wanted to create a platform for artistic expression and exchange in the global context. Ritm Naara organizes exhibitions, workshops, residencies, and publications that foster cross-cultural collaboration and understanding.
Ritm Naara / 2020 is the third edition of the collection, which was first launched in 2018. The collection has been exhibited in various venues around the world, such as New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Istanbul, and Dubai. The collection has received positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, who praised its diversity, creativity, and relevance.
The collection is currently on display at the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco until June 30th, 2023. The exhibition is open to the public from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10 am to 5 pm. Tickets are available online or at the museum’s box office. For more information, visit the museum’s website or follow Ritm Naara on social media.
Ritm Naara / 2020 is not only a collection of artworks, but also a celebration of the artists behind them. The collection features the works of more than 50 artists from different regions and backgrounds, who have been selected by Ritm Naara’s team of curators and advisors. Some of the artists include Betye Saar, a legendary African-American artist known for her assemblages and collages that address racism, sexism, and spirituality; Leanne and Naara, a Filipino indie pop duo who use their music to express their emotions and experiences; and 5\\8 Ritim, a Turkish musical group who create rhythmic compositions using traditional instruments and modern technology.
The collection also showcases the diversity of artistic mediums and styles that reflect the contemporary art scene. From abstract paintings and sculptures that challenge the perception of space and form, to realistic photography and video art that document the social realities and conflicts of our time, Ritm Naara / 2020 offers a glimpse into the creative visions and voices of today’s artists. The collection aims to inspire, provoke, and engage the viewers, as well as to foster a dialogue between cultures and communities.
Ritm Naara / 2020 is also a special opportunity for the San Francisco audience, as it is the first time that the collection is exhibited in the city. San Francisco is known for its rich and diverse cultural heritage, as well as its vibrant and innovative art scene. The city has been home to many influential artists and movements, such as the Beat Generation, the San Francisco Renaissance, and the Bay Area Figurative Movement. The city also hosts many renowned museums and galleries, such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the de Young Museum, and the Asian Art Museum.
The collection hopes to connect with the local community and to contribute to the ongoing artistic dialogue in San Francisco. Ritm Naara / 2020 invites the viewers to experience the artworks in a new context and to discover new perspectives and insights. The collection also encourages the viewers to reflect on their own identities and cultures, and to celebrate the diversity and commonality of humanity.
