About
Join us to learn about the decades of seeing, artistic expression and cultural documentation inspired by the pursuit of telling societally important stories. If making is representing, it begins with seeing and asking different questions. Lewis Watts photographs people, faces, cultural landscapes and moments as visual evidence to show the viewer how the present becomes history, and in turn, history reshapes our present understanding of culture and humanity. Dewey Crumpler shows us that certain objects, made familiar in history, can gain heightened meaning to act as metaphors symbolizing resistance and physical integrity. By addressing the idea of subjugation in America–objects can be reframed as cultural self-fulfillment, autonomy and spiritual development.
