Exhibition
Reckoning: Protest. Defiance. Resilience.
Located in the museum’s Visual Art and the American Experience space, the exhibition explores the Black Lives Matter movement, violence against African Americans, and how art depicts Black resistance, resilience, and protest. Visual art has long provided its own protest, commentary, escape, and perspective for African Americans. The Black painters, sculptors, photographers, and textile artists featured exemplify the tradition of exhibiting resilience in times of conflict, as well as the ritual of creation, and the defiant pleasure of healing.
