Join MoAD, SFMOMA and Roadside Attractions for a Bay Area special advanced screening & discussion of Titus Kaphar's new feature film Exhibiting Forgiveness. The screening will be followed by a discussion with Kaphar and MoAD's Chief of Curatorial & Public Programs Key Jo Lee, moderated by MoAD's Cultural Critic-in-Residence Dr. Artel Great.  

 

Exhibiting Foregiveness follows Tarrell (André Holland), an admired American painter who lives with his wife, singer Aisha (Andra Day), and their young son, Jermaine. Tarrell’s artwork excavates beauty from the anguish of his youth, keeping past wounds at bay. His path to success is derailed by an unexpected visit from his estranged father, La’Ron (John Earl Jelks), a conscience-stricken man desperate to reconcile. Tarrell’s mother, Joyce (Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor) a pious woman with a profound and joyful spirituality, hopes that Tarrell can open his heart to forgiveness, giving them all another chance at being a family. Tarrell and La’Ron learn that forgetting might be a greater challenge than forgiving in this raw and deeply moving film.
