Curator’s Talk with Dr. Deborah Willis and Dr. Cheryl Finely for Free As They Want to Be: Artist Committed to Memory
2024-10-01 17:30 - 19:00
Join us for an engaging curator’s talk for the exhibition “Free as They Want to Be: Artists Committed to Memory.” This contemporary art exhibition explores the impact of historical memory through photography, video, and archival materials. Co-curated by Dr. Cheryl Finley, Inaugural Director of the Atlanta University Center Art History + Curatorial Studies Collective, and Dr. Deborah Willis, University Professor and Chair of the Department of Photography & Imaging at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, the exhibition invites audiences to reflect on the legacies of slavery in post-emancipation America and the liberating potential of art to articulate a sense of freedom and self-identity.

Free as They Want to Be: Artists Committed to Memory presents contemporary art inspired by historical memory. The exhibition considers in comparative perspectives the historic and contemporary role photography and film have played in remembering legacies of slavery and its aftermath. It also examines the social lives of a diverse group of Americans within various places—on the land, at home, in photographic albums, at historic sites, and in public memory. Free as They Want to Be offers a view of a people who expressed their desire to be free in early photographic portraits.

Lavaughn Belle: The Haunting Between Us presents a counternarrative that haunts the Royal Danish Archive photographs from the Danish colonial period in the West Indies. LaVaughn Belle disrupts the hierarchies in the colonial images with cuts and burns transforming these construed images. The sculpture Sovereign (How to Pull a Spear from the Throat) reminds us that rebellion and resistance was waged by the indigenous peoples of the West Indians as well as Africans. As she says, “The haunting is a call to decolonization and the dismantling of systems that keep us fragmented.” Belle works in various disciplines making “invisible the unremembered through exploring the material culture of coloniality creating narratives from fragments and silences.”
This exhibition is a collaboration between the Carlos Museum and CAUAM with a companion exhibition ”Come Ruin or Rapture” on display at the Carlos Museum.
