“I live here in Harlem,” said Milan. “I’ve really come to love not only the neighborhood but just the different people and the different activities and events that happen in Harlem.”

It’s a love that has culminated into the newest exhibit on display at the Studio Museum in Harlem. The museum has served as an outlet and advocate for African-American artists since 1968.
