Joe Minter is an artist and cultural historian living in the Titusville neighborhood of Birmingham, surrounded by his magnum opus, a sprawling didactic artwork that he has dubbed the African Village in America. His individual artworks document the Civil Rights Movement, the 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church, American participation in various wars and conflicts, terrorist attacks, the legacies of slavery, and more recently, Trump’s wall and Covid-19. There are, of course, moments of respite from the turmoil of the modern world with an implicit honoring of ancestors, loved ones, faith, and an essential acknowledgement of the power of love.

In recent years, Minter’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Alabama Contemporary, Atlanta Contemporary, and James Fuentes Gallery. His works are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, among others. Minter was featured in the 2019 Whitney Biennial, curated by Rujeko Hockley and Jane Panetta.
