Artist and the Archive: Race and Revolution

Nine contemporary artists respond to excerpts from documents written by leaders of the American Revolution in the current public art exhibition Race and Revolution, curated by Katie Fuller on Governor’s Island in New York. Nell I. Painter, a leading historian of the United States, and the Edwards Professor of American History, Emerita at Princeton University, will be in conversation with artists Talwst, Nona Faustine, and Cannupa Hanska Luger of the Race and Revolution collective and Fuller about historical memory and the influence of archival material on contemporary art and activism.
