Art+Education at Howardena Pindell exhibition at The Shed
Folks from the Art+Education shared an impromptu visit to the Howardena Pindell exhibition, Rope/Fire/Water at The Shed. The works included in the show provide an unsparing look at the history and current realities of violence and oppression against Black bodies in the United States. At the same time, Pindell balances her uncompromising and insistent look at this brutality with other images that speak to Black joy, celebration and beauty. Connected to our investigation of Race, Education and the Politics of Visual Representation (link to Initial Cert class), this artist and exhibition gave us not only the opportunity to see an artist wrestling with the most pressing issues of our time through video, paint, text, and collage… but a chance to connect with each other in the real world – through our masks and 6 feet of distance!
