Not All Good In The Hood

After many discussions on the topic, I am moved to respond to the Hood Museum's recent event, "Hip-Hop in the Hood." The party was meant to celebrate the opening of its new exhibit, "Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the African Body." Instead, it served to commodify and objectify the very group of women it claimed to represent. First, I should say that I love the artwork in the "Black Womanhood" exhibit.
