How African American artists use visual expression as a powerful tool for social change.
In short: This guided tour explores how painters, photographers, and sculptors have used their work to document protest, process grief, and foster resilience within the African American community.
The exhibition Reckoning: Protest. Defiance. Resilience. examines the long-standing tradition of visual art serving as a medium for commentary, escape, and perspective. By highlighting the work of Black artists, the collection demonstrates how creative practice functions as both a ritual of healing and a defiant act against conflict.
The show navigates a spectrum of human experience, moving from defiance and protest to mourning and hope. It specifically honors the memory of individuals such as Eric Garner, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor, illustrating how contemporary artists continue to use their voices to pay tribute to those lost while advocating for change in both physical demonstrations and digital spaces.
