​Join us at Opera Gallery for an exclusive live recording of Alayo Akinkugbe's podcast, A Shared Gaze. As the founder of the Instagram platform A Black History of Art, Akinkugbe sheds light on Black artists, sitters, curators, and thinkers from art history to present day.

In this episode, she engages in conversation with artist Anya Paintsil and writers John-Baptiste Oduor and Chantel AkworkorThompson about the theme of Black figuration. This discussion is part of the program accompanying the exhibition The Whole Smiles with You, on display at Opera Gallery from June 29.
