| Abstract: |
The article discusses Kara Walker's new art installation at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, which departs from her previous plantation-themed works to focus on robotics and racialized labor. Walker's installation features Black automatons that invite reflection on human and nonhuman histories of labor and liberation. The installation combines historical references with futuristic elements, offering a solemn and ritualistic experience that prompts contemplation on racial dynamics and labor in San Francisco. Walker's work challenges viewers to confront racial stereotypes and historical legacies while envisioning a future of freedom and liberation. [Extracted from the article] |
