Intimate Interiors, an exhibition presenting alternative portraits of Black culture spanning mid-20th century to modern day, debuts at the Birmingham Museum of Art on Sunday, August 26.
As a mixed media exhibition, Intimate Interiors presents 12 portraits of black subjects in intimate moments and spaces that include religious worship, bedrooms, and entertaining. Ranging from a depiction of elderly women at church in the south, to young people dancing the jitterbug on a Saturday night, the exhibition focuses on the intimate moments of everyday life in black culture.
In such spaces, we are at our most comfortable, and oftentimes most vulnerable. The exhibition offers alternative images to racist images of blacks that we often encounter in our global visual culture, says Andrew W. Mellon Curatorial Fellow, Dr. Jeffreen M. Hayes. By exhibiting alternative images, we encourage dialogue about the similarities we share while celebrating black cultural experiences.
The exhibitions opening coincides with the Sankofa Soiree at the Birmingham Museum of Art on Saturday, August 25. The 4th annual Sankofa Soiree is hosted by The Sankofa Society: Friends of African American and African Art and carries the theme Intimate Evening of Art, which connects to the exhibition Intimate Interiors. The weekend will begin Friday night with a reception and champagne toast, whereupon Sankofa Society members can meet and greet with the weekend’s honoree, Theaster Gates, a Chicago-based artist and urban planner.

A Search Engine Optimization company or SEO company for short can help a business with their website to make it rank better on search engines. The exact method for this can change from time to time as the search engines change the way that they look at websites. The point of hiring a company to handle the optimization is that they work hard to make sure that they keep on top of any changes that the search engines go through so that they can ensure that websites continue to be optimized for the new changes.
An SEO company can do a lot for a company, but there are some things that they have no control over. This just means that they have to explore other avenues or perform other services more frequently to get over those uncontrollable parts. It is also important for an SEO company to explain that there is a cycle where a company may fall in ranks before raising back up.
