Hateful Things, August 30, 2018 - October 14, 2018
Contains material culture from the late 19th century to the present, embodying the terrible effects of the Jim Crow legacy. In the early 1830s Thomas D. Rice created the antebellum character Jim Crow. "Daddy Rice," as he was called, was a white actor who performed in black face a song-and-dance whose exaggerations popularized racially demeaning minstrel shows. The name "Jim Crow" came to denote segregation in the 19th century when southern and border states passed Jim Crow laws; legitimizing a racial caste system. This exhibition contains examples of our segregated and racist past.
Reclaiming Racist Stereotypes August 30th - October 14, 2018
A small exhibition showcasing the work of contemporary artists Arvie Smith, Kara Walker, Robert Colescott and Sanford Biggers, who are among several artists exploring and reclaiming images of our shared racial past.
