Best known for her installations of enigmatic black cut-paper figures that recall Victorian silhouettes, Kara Walker uses provocative imagery to address the complex legacy of discrimination, oppression, and sexual exploitation initiated by the transatlantic slave trade. Blending elegantly crafted forms, biting humor, and horrific, often violent subjects drawn from stereotypes of the antebellum South, she avoids explicit narratives, instead compelling the viewer to contemplate multiple interpretations. #MuseumWeek #HeritageMW #WomenMW • “no world” from the series An Unpeopled Land in Uncharted Waters, 2010, by Kara Walker © 2014 Kara Walker
