Exhibition in Tate museum in London
Let's go!
This exhibition is on the art against racial injustice
This work highlights representation and hope. Through Boseman's legacy, Smith reminds us of the importance of black heroes in media. This is not only a tribute to Boseman's life, but also an encouragement for the black community to continue fighting for equality and visibility.
Another notable work by Smith is his homage to Chadwick Boseman, the actor famous for his role as Black Panther. In this work, Boseman is shown greeting Wakanda to a young black child dressed as the Black Panther. The child, who represents the next generation, looks at Boseman with admiration.
Smith uses muted colors and gentle brushstrokes, creating a peaceful yet powerful homage. This work reminds viewers of the injustice Breonna Taylor faced and honors her memory. She has become a symbol of the fight against police violence and racial injustice in America.

This artwork is a statement on visibility and representation. By showing a Black artist actively creating, Marshall reclaims space for Black artists in art history and encourages viewers to consider who is represented in galleries and museums.
