Kara Walker : Go to Hell or Atlanta, Whichever Comes First

1 Oct-7 Nov 2015

Overview

Often provocative and humorous, Kara Walker's work explores the tensions and power plays of racial and gender relations. Walker's work engages with historical narratives and the ways in which these stories have been suppressed, distorted and falsified. This exhibition extends her exploration of the brutalising histories of colonialism and slavery, as well as the political and psychological consequences that accompany the formation of identity in contexts of oppression and violence.
