Entitled, 1968: Then and Now, this multimedia exhibition explores an era when a multitude of social movements climaxed in discontent with political order, particularly of the United States, that was rooted in domestic racial inequality and imperialist foreign policy. It also reflects on the presence of the memory of this time in our hearts and minds for 40 years. In 2008, our world is saturated with iconic images that reflect upon and draw from 1968. This exhibition combines historical and contemporary images that construct diverse stories about the culture of resistance, beauty, power, and the notion of disenfranchisement.
Artists, photographers and writers in the exhibition include: Emma Amos, Tomie Arai, Derrick Addams, William Cordova, Bruce Davidson, Thulani Davis, Tom Drysdale, Ellen Eisenman, Jessica Ingram, Lorie Novak, Norman Parish, Jolene Rickard, Stephen Shames, Margo Machida, Elaine Mayes, Iris Morales, Paul Owen, Jamel Shabazz, Hong-An Truong, Hank Willis Thomas, Fran Wilson, and more.
