Description
Elia Alba's The Supper Club is a photographic portrait series that brings together U.S.-based artists of colour. Alongside the portraits are excerpts from dinner conversations addressing issues related to race and visual culture, including sanctuary, policing, post-black identity, and intersectional identities. The Supper Club focuses on racial politics and visual culture, curated by Sara Reisman for The Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation. The series comprises socially engaged dinners and portraits of artist participants, who share their unique voices through Alba's iconic images. First launched in 2012, the project has grown to include 25 themed dinners, each exploring a different topic such as Baltimore, Race and Identity, or Racial Subjugation in Latin America.
