I, too, feel that in a lot of Kara Walker’s art we are being led gently by the hand to these hard truths that must be heard and see. What a fantastic way to experience her work.
Her voice is freaking beautiful. I need her to talk me to sleep one day. Beautiful and important video💜
If you can summarize what I’ve done in one neat and tidy sentence, then I have failed. And you can’t summarize this in one line. Thank God.” Thank you for saying this in the world of one-liners, Roxanne Gay!
Thanks to the ongoing work by artists of the African Diaspora contributing to this social justice canon! YES--to Kara Walker, Amy Sherald, Kehinde Wiley, David Hammons, Frank Rich, Adrian Piper, Robert Colescott. As America Herrera says in her beautiful TEDx talk--and despite the racism--"My identity is not an obstacle. My identity is my superpower." Axé
Thank you for introducing me to someone I'd never heard of.
powerful and edifying ekphrasis from Roxane Gay
Appreciative that this video (and smart, articulate scholar) finally provide some thoughtful scholarship and documented consideration of this important piece. Still awaiting attention to the other masterful works from the artist's last show at Sikkema Jenkins Gallery in 2017. A real tragedy that there was not a book to immortalize, explain, and contextualize that important and historic show.
Powerful!
Roxane Gay ♥
Without propaganda you can look at art the noise doesnt add to anything.
