Ken Gonzales-Day is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice considers the historical construction of race. He supplements his photographs with research and writing that engage critically with history, art history and Western conventions of race, blending historical tragedies with current events. Using photography and video, he explores trauma and resistance as experienced and embodied by racially oppressed populations in the U.S.
This Minnesota Museum of Art exhibit will be a concise survey of the artist's career, whose work brings up one of his most poignant questions: What is the difference between collective resistance and racially motivated violence?
