SUMMARY:Jersey Art Meetup (JAM)
DESCRIPTION:Echoes in Our Bones The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture \nCurated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder				\n				\n									On View: Saturday\, August 29 – Saturday\, October 3\, 2026Opening reception: wednesday\, September 9 from 5-7pmpanel discussion: thursday\, September 17 from 5:30-6:30pm at princeton university art museum. learn more. 								\n				\n									ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:Echoes in Our Bones will explore how themes of identity\, history\, and cultural resilience have endured and transformed across generations. The exhibition examines how these artists have explored and expanded the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence\, “Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness”\, using art as a powerful vehicle for expression\, resistance\, care\, and community. Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Allison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker both explore the heritage of slavery through printmaking\, a medium traditionally associated with social justice and political commentary: 								\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel: Waring devoted much of her career to portraying the emerging African American middle class\, while Casteel depicts the everyday lives of a broad spectrum of African Americans\, confidently occupying a wide variety of roles in the 21st century. It is worth noting that this early painting\, created shortly after Waring graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and likely executed while she was still in Paris on the prestigious travel fellowship awarded by PAFA to an outstanding graduate\, depicts two white women. This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									More pairings to come. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.

Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Allison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker both explore the heritage of slavery through printmaking\, a medium traditionally associated with social justice and political commentary: 								\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel: Waring devoted much of her career to portraying the emerging African American middle class\, while Casteel depicts the everyday lives of a broad spectrum of African Americans\, confidently occupying a wide variety of roles in the 21st century. It is worth noting that this early painting\, created shortly after Waring graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and likely executed while she was still in Paris on the prestigious travel fellowship awarded by PAFA to an outstanding graduate\, depicts two white women. This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									More pairings to come. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.

SUMMARY:Story & Verse: A Storytelling and Poetic Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:Echoes in Our Bones The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture \nCurated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder				\n				\n									On View: Saturday\, August 29 – Saturday\, October 3\, 2026Opening reception: wednesday\, September 9 from 5-7pmpanel discussion: thursday\, September 17 from 5:30-6:30pm at princeton university art museum. learn more. 								\n				\n									ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:Echoes in Our Bones will explore how themes of identity\, history\, and cultural resilience have endured and transformed across generations. The exhibition examines how these artists have explored and expanded the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence\, “Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness”\, using art as a powerful vehicle for expression\, resistance\, care\, and community. Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Allison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker both explore the heritage of slavery through printmaking\, a medium traditionally associated with social justice and political commentary: 								\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel: Waring devoted much of her career to portraying the emerging African American middle class\, while Casteel depicts the everyday lives of a broad spectrum of African Americans\, confidently occupying a wide variety of roles in the 21st century. It is worth noting that this early painting\, created shortly after Waring graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and likely executed while she was still in Paris on the prestigious travel fellowship awarded by PAFA to an outstanding graduate\, depicts two white women. This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									More pairings to come. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.

SUMMARY:ART OF The Halloween Barn Bash
DESCRIPTION:Echoes in Our Bones The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture \nCurated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder				\n				\n									On View: Saturday\, August 29 – Saturday\, October 3\, 2026Opening reception: wednesday\, September 9 from 5-7pmpanel discussion: thursday\, September 17 from 5:30-6:30pm at princeton university art museum. learn more. 								\n				\n									ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:Echoes in Our Bones will explore how themes of identity\, history\, and cultural resilience have endured and transformed across generations. The exhibition examines how these artists have explored and expanded the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence\, “Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness”\, using art as a powerful vehicle for expression\, resistance\, care\, and community. Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Allison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker both explore the heritage of slavery through printmaking\, a medium traditionally associated with social justice and political commentary: 								\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel: Waring devoted much of her career to portraying the emerging African American middle class\, while Casteel depicts the everyday lives of a broad spectrum of African Americans\, confidently occupying a wide variety of roles in the 21st century. It is worth noting that this early painting\, created shortly after Waring graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and likely executed while she was still in Paris on the prestigious travel fellowship awarded by PAFA to an outstanding graduate\, depicts two white women. This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									More pairings to come. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.

DESCRIPTION:Echoes in Our Bones The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture \nCurated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder				\n				\n									On View: Saturday\, August 29 – Saturday\, October 3\, 2026Opening reception: wednesday\, September 9 from 5-7pmpanel discussion: thursday\, September 17 from 5:30-6:30pm at princeton university art museum. learn more. 								\n				\n									ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:Echoes in Our Bones will explore how themes of identity\, history\, and cultural resilience have endured and transformed across generations. The exhibition examines how these artists have explored and expanded the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence\, “Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness”\, using art as a powerful vehicle for expression\, resistance\, care\, and community. Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Allison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker both explore the heritage of slavery through printmaking\, a medium traditionally associated with social justice and political commentary: 								\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel: Waring devoted much of her career to portraying the emerging African American middle class\, while Casteel depicts the everyday lives of a broad spectrum of African Americans\, confidently occupying a wide variety of roles in the 21st century. It is worth noting that this early painting\, created shortly after Waring graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and likely executed while she was still in Paris on the prestigious travel fellowship awarded by PAFA to an outstanding graduate\, depicts two white women. This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									More pairings to come. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.

DESCRIPTION:Echoes in Our Bones The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture \nCurated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder				\n				\n									On View: Saturday\, August 29 – Saturday\, October 3\, 2026Opening reception: wednesday\, September 9 from 5-7pmpanel discussion: thursday\, September 17 from 5:30-6:30pm at princeton university art museum. learn more. 								\n				\n									ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:Echoes in Our Bones will explore how themes of identity\, history\, and cultural resilience have endured and transformed across generations. The exhibition examines how these artists have explored and expanded the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence\, “Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness”\, using art as a powerful vehicle for expression\, resistance\, care\, and community. Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Allison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker both explore the heritage of slavery through printmaking\, a medium traditionally associated with social justice and political commentary: 								\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel: Waring devoted much of her career to portraying the emerging African American middle class\, while Casteel depicts the everyday lives of a broad spectrum of African Americans\, confidently occupying a wide variety of roles in the 21st century. It is worth noting that this early painting\, created shortly after Waring graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and likely executed while she was still in Paris on the prestigious travel fellowship awarded by PAFA to an outstanding graduate\, depicts two white women. This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									More pairings to come. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.

DESCRIPTION:Echoes in Our Bones The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture \nCurated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder				\n				\n									On View: Saturday\, August 29 – Saturday\, October 3\, 2026Opening reception: wednesday\, September 9 from 5-7pmpanel discussion: thursday\, September 17 from 5:30-6:30pm at princeton university art museum. learn more. 								\n				\n									ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:Echoes in Our Bones will explore how themes of identity\, history\, and cultural resilience have endured and transformed across generations. The exhibition examines how these artists have explored and expanded the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence\, “Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness”\, using art as a powerful vehicle for expression\, resistance\, care\, and community. Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Allison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker both explore the heritage of slavery through printmaking\, a medium traditionally associated with social justice and political commentary: 								\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel: Waring devoted much of her career to portraying the emerging African American middle class\, while Casteel depicts the everyday lives of a broad spectrum of African Americans\, confidently occupying a wide variety of roles in the 21st century. It is worth noting that this early painting\, created shortly after Waring graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and likely executed while she was still in Paris on the prestigious travel fellowship awarded by PAFA to an outstanding graduate\, depicts two white women. This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									More pairings to come. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.

DESCRIPTION:Echoes in Our Bones The Empowering Legacy of Black Women Artists in American Art and Culture \nCurated by Judith K. Brodsky and Rhinold L. Ponder				\n				\n									On View: Saturday\, August 29 – Saturday\, October 3\, 2026Opening reception: wednesday\, September 9 from 5-7pmpanel discussion: thursday\, September 17 from 5:30-6:30pm at princeton university art museum. learn more. 								\n				\n									ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:Echoes in Our Bones will explore how themes of identity\, history\, and cultural resilience have endured and transformed across generations. The exhibition examines how these artists have explored and expanded the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence\, “Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness”\, using art as a powerful vehicle for expression\, resistance\, care\, and community. Pairings of artists from past and present generations will include Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler\, Selma Burke and Allison Saar\, Mary Lovelace O’Neal and Julie Mehretu\, Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, Carrie Mae Weems and LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel\, Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker\, and Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith. Through these connections\, the exhibition will not only showcase individual artistic voices but also trace a lineage of creative expression that has contributed to shaping and defining American art. 								\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					 The Pairings: 				\n					\n				\n		\n				\n									Faith Ringgold and Bisa Butler create large-scale works celebrating African American life through a combination of fabric and paint—a medium pioneered by Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro during the early years of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Elizabeth Catlett and Kara Walker both explore the heritage of slavery through printmaking\, a medium traditionally associated with social justice and political commentary: 								\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Laura Wheeler Waring and Jordan Casteel: Waring devoted much of her career to portraying the emerging African American middle class\, while Casteel depicts the everyday lives of a broad spectrum of African Americans\, confidently occupying a wide variety of roles in the 21st century. It is worth noting that this early painting\, created shortly after Waring graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and likely executed while she was still in Paris on the prestigious travel fellowship awarded by PAFA to an outstanding graduate\, depicts two white women. This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									More pairings to come. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.

This suggests that Waring had not yet chosen to focus her artistic practice on Black subjects: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Betye Saar and Tschabalala Self\, artists from two different generations\, both use collage\, distortion\, and caricature to explore themes of social justice and the African American experience of injustice: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									Howardena Pindell and Shinique Smith both use discarded\, nontraditional materials to create works of art\, drawing an analogy to the experiences of people who are often overlooked or cast aside\, yet possess immense value: 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n																														\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n\n				\n									More pairings to come. 								\n				\n					\n\n		\n					\n				\n					About the curators:				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n									Judith K.

Re-visioning America showcases how artists from a range of backgrounds grapple with the complexity of America and its histories\, then and now\, and invites audiences to do the same through a series of exhibitions and accompanying programming\, including lectures\, artist conversations\, hands-on workshops\, film screenings\, and a gallery crawl. Explore the full program schedule Re-visioning America is collaboration between the Arts Council of Princeton\, Morven Museum & Garden\, Art Against Racism\, Princeton Public Library\, Historical Society of Princeton\, William Trent House Museum\, Garden Theatre\, Princeton University Art Museum\, and the Princeton University Humanities Initiative.
