Courtesy of the artist.Michael Dixon’s paintings and performances explore the personal, societal and aesthetic struggles of belonging to both “white” and “black” racial and cultural identities, yet simultaneously belonging fully to neither. For his AEIVA exhibition, The Undeniable Blackness Between Us, Dixon explores his cultural duality through the lens of his childhood, familial relationships, and his search for a father he’s never known.
