This is an interesting article. The exhibit in question is really a contemporary art piece that explores the use of African imagery in modern day hip hop music, which I don't have a problem with. However, it compares it with Netflix's bad faith attempt to rewrite history with their Cleopatra 'documentary''.

Agreed. As modern art, it is what it is - who cares? My only issue is that if you tried to make some prominent African figure white, you'd be burned at the stake. When we're all following the same rules, I'll have no issue.
