For whom America the beautiful? On October 3, the photographs by Kwame Brathwaite (@kwamebrathwaitearchive) will illuminate the stage at AMERICA(!) THE BEAUTIFUL(?) at The Ford (@thefordla) at LA Phil (@laphil)! Rooted in the legacy of Black Is Beautiful, Brathwaite’s images remind us that beauty has always been a claim to dignity and self-determination. Watch Kwame S. Brathwaite (@kwamebphoto) reflect on his father’s legacy and what belonging in America means today. Join us for one night of music, poetry, and photography. Tickets are available in our bio — come claim beauty with us! #theford #losangeles #LA #blackisbeautiful #kwamebrathwaite
