This year, acclaimed contemporary artist and Kalamazoo native Kaphar made the leap into narrative filmmaking. His semi-autobiographical film is titled Exhibiting Forgiveness. 

The film follows painter Terrell, played by André Holland, as he wrestles with generational trauma and navigates his relationship with his estranged father, played by John Earl Jelks, who has reappeared in his life unexpectedly.

The Detroit Institute of Arts will screen the film Dec. 11-15.

GUEST:

Titus Kaphar, contemporary artist, producer, writer, and director of Exhibiting Forgiveness
