"Passages" is the most comprehensive exhibition of contemporary artist Whitfield Lovell’s work to date. The traveling exhibition makes its final stop at the McNay Art Museum, featuring two immersive installations and approximately 30 additional works.

The show features Lovell’s hyperrealist Conté drawings based on found photos of unknown African Americans, in addition to expansive and emotionally stirring installations that will permit museumgoers to immerse into lesser-discussed aspects of Black history, raise questions about the necessity of identity and memory, and meditate on the enduring tenuousness of American heritage.
