The 17 Gallery Shows to See During Frieze Week in New York

Where: Charles Moffett
When: Through June 20
Why It’s Worth a Look: Dacres, a first-generation American sculptor of Jamaican descent, transforms reclaimed tires into busts and braided abstractions that explore the injustices levied against Black and Brown people throughout American history. By unsettling the classical art form of the bust with unconventional materials and references to natural hairstyles, Dacres vaunts Black aesthetics and contributions to art, hidden for too long.
Know Before You Go: As a former New York public school teacher, Dacres crafted a series of wall-mounted “medallions” dedicated to Harlem, where she lives and works.
