Clip #1 About Surely, she is a little animal with Carmen Robles-Inman and Amber Robles Gordon

My mother is my favorite person in this world. She is often my thought partner, sounding board and she has always been my teacher. Throughout my creative process I have conversations with my her about where I am heading on a particular body of artwork or project. Although this was recorded after the "Surely, she (he/we) is a little animal?" series was completed, this is the first recorded conversation of us talking about my artwork.
Blessings,
Continuing a visual conversation originated by Robles-Gordon with Successions: Traversing US Colonialism, her 2021 solo exhibition at American University Museum at the Katzen Center (curated by Larry Ossei-Mensah), Surely, she (he/we) is a little animal? expands the human-focused approach of Successions out towards the universal and the surreal. Who/what is worthy of care? Who cares for the defenseless? Who/what is defended? Incorporating the transdisciplinary study of human ecology into her practice and scope, Robles-Gordon uses the field as an anchor in her expansive investigations of race, history, the sciences and culture. The resulting new body of work rigorously explores colonialism and imperialism, global anti-blackness, child welfare and animal cruelty. Finding them all connected, just not equally, the exhibition exposes frank contradictions in American perceptions of human life, animal life and minority lives. www.amberroblesgordon.com
