Arthur Jafa’s latest thought-provoking video installation, ‘The White Album,’ premiers at BAMPFA through March

In a black-box gallery-theater at the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive, “The White Album” plays on a continuous loop.

This is not the famous musical work of the same title from a certain British band. Rather, this is the debut of a new video installation from award-winning artist and filmmaker Arthur Jafa, commissioned by BAMFA and on view through March 24 as part of his major solo exhibition, “Arthur Jafa/MATRIX 272.”
