Solange celebrates blackness at colorful SFMOMA bash

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art marked the first anniversary of its expansion by hosting a grand Birthday Bash on Wednesday, April 26, where attendees were encouraged to wear bold monochromatic colors. Yet performing several songs off her latest release, “A Seat at the Table,” the message was clear: Solange, the younger sister of superstar Beyoncé, released her third studio album in September at the height of racial and political tensions in the United States. [...] it was her lifelong experience with racial and gender inequality that fueled the piercing-hot lyrics on the 21-track album. Songs like “Weary” (“I'm weary of the ways of the world/ Be weary of the ways of the world”) and “Junie” (But what you gonna do/ When they saw all your moves and practiced em daily?/ Protect your neck, or give invitations?) address the plight of black women and the appropriation of black culture. After the show, in the restrooms, eyes rolled hard as some white women sang “Don’t Touch My Hair” — a commentary on how black women’s hair is not a sideshow and is an expression of black pride — while discussing how much they spent on a blowout earlier in the day for the bash. Epstein said she recently earned her master’s degree in urban education at Holy Names University and is now enrolled at Mills College for her Ph.D.
