Originating at Northwestern University’s Block Museum of Art, A Site of Struggle: American Art against Anti-Black Violence explores how artists have engaged with the reality of anti-Black violence and its accompanying challenges of representation in the United States over a 100+ year period. The Block Museum exhibition will tour to the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, Montgomery, Alabama August 13–November 6, 2022.

 

In conjunction with this exhibition, a national group of curators, educators, and scholars will share their reflections on museum practice, engaging communities with care, and exhibiting challenging material related to race, violence, and our shared histories. The three-part online conversation series is free and open to the public.
