| Details: | Weisman Art Museum is proud to present the exhibition, Kara Walker: Harper’s Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated). Kara Walker, born in 1969, is one of the most intellectually provocative and creatively productive artists of her generation. Her groundbreaking work revisits archival material to challenge dominant narratives of American history, exploring race, gender, sexuality, violence, identity, and social justice. Throughout her work in installation, film, drawing, and printmaking, Walker calls up historical imagery and—through redrawing, adding, and complicating existing narratives—creates startling tableaus meant to prompt thought and reconsideration in her diverse audiences. A California-born, African-American woman who relocated with her family to Georgia as a young adult, Walker’s work delves deeply into the experience of being Black in the United States, exposing a rich cartography of perception, misperception, and devastating prejudice that is dynamically determined by place, time, and personal perspective. Her visceral artworks have garnered outstanding merit and spurred tremendous controversy from a variety of constituencies.
