New Responses to Kara Walker 2.1

In conjunction with the Walker Art Center’s exhibition, Kara Walker: My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love, the Walker Art Center Teen Arts Council (WACTAC) created a postcard project to encourage visitors to respond to Kara Walker’s challenging work. The postcard invites visitors to reply verbally or visually to one of three prompts:

What are you suppressing?

What does power look like?

Retell a history

To weigh in on the exhibition and share your musings, pick up a postcard outside the gallery or in the Bazinet Lobby and create your reply on the back. Responses will be selected by WACTAC and posted on the Walker blog.
