I was excited to view the show and intrigued to see the live performances scheduled for the event. Unfortunately, I did not care for the performances due to issues I had with appropriation by the white performer. I felt it was cheeky and disrespectful of the original gestures from the 60's.
On the other hand, the show itself featured some really beautiful paintings and photos from this important art movement. I will go back to see it again.
