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 Arts and Sciences at UC Santa Cruz, Barnette proposes an alternate history of Black America, one not shaped by state-sanctioned terror but by love, support, celebration, and the fullness of human relationships.
