UT's Art Galleries at Black Studies: Old Wounds, Dark Dreams
African-American artists Carrie Mae Weems, Cauleen Smith, Rodney McMillian, and Charles Gaines use video to meditate on anti-Black racism and the wounds it inflicts on the American psyche while participating in the tradition of appropriation – where artists quote other artists’ motifs, methods, and works to contribute new meanings to the old, which allows them to comment on, critique, or amplify the original.
Past date: Opening reception: Thu., Feb. 9, 5-7pm
Christian-Green Gallery, 201 E. 21st
