Sadie Barnette: Family Business
Sadie Barnette’s multimedia practice explores her own family history as it mirrors a collective history of repression and resistance in the United States. In a new commission for the ongoing Visualizing Abolition collaboration with the Institute of the Arts and Sciences at University of California, Santa Cruz, Barnette proposes an alternate history of Black America, one shaped by state-sanctioned terror but also by love, support, celebration, and the fullness of human relationships.
