Guest speaker Avril Angevine will present the works of MacArthur Foundation award winner Kara Walker and her current installation at SFMOMA, Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine), on Tuesday, January 14 at 12pm on Zoom. With wit and elegance, Walker's fantastic automatons confront troubling histories of race and gender and evince the power of the human soul. Walker has created a powerful body of work by examining "the peculiar institution" at the center of the American experience: the enslavement of African Americans. Inspired by art history, folklore, tradition, technology, and philosophy, Walker's art gives hope in a fragmented world.
