Exhibition Walkthrough: Hood Ornament

Curator remarks and exhibition walkthrough with renowned curator, Charles Moore.

Hood Ornament navigates the duality embedded in its name, a symbol perched atop a vehicle and a neighborhood often associated with Black America, both markers of identity, both personal and collective. In its evolving symbolism, the “hood ornament” has become an emblem of status and a reflection of lived experiences, resilience, and transformation.
