Conlusion
This project definitively shows that contemporary Black female artists are leading a seismic correction in visual culture, actively redefining the canon in real time through powerful use of self-representation and intersectionality to dismantle historical narratives of erasure and objectification. Although artists are now at the center of conversations about identity, narrative, and power in visual art, the struggle for true equity persists, as Black women artists still face massive disparities in market value, acquisition, and curatorial attention. This continuing challenge is fueled by institutional racism and tokenism, proving that it is insufficient merely to feature “a single Black woman in a group show”. Ultimately, achieving true authority requires a commitment to sustained support, including prioritizing acquisition and funding solo exhibitions, to ensure market validation and elevate authentic stories, affirming that The Future is Black and Female.
