Alison Saar: Uproot (2023)

Alison Saar introduces 'Uproot' and discusses the materiality, meanings, and process behind the works included in this exhibition.
On view 25 January - 11 March 2023, this will be Saar's eighth solo exhibition at L.A. Louver.
In this body of work, Saar employs historical memory and media as a lens through which to view the contemporary and delves deeper into the realities, histories, and layers of Black womanhood in the United States. Titled 'Uproot,' this exhibition excavates the intersection of racialized gender inequity and reproductive rights, taking as inspiration images of the Sable Venus and the use of herbal abortifacients as a means of resistance and revolution.
