Resistance. It’s one of the motifs that unifies the artwork from our contemporary collection on display in “The Slipstream: Reflection, Resilience, and Resistance in the Art of Our Time.” This includes the photography of John Edmonds, Elle Pérez, and Zanele Muholi.Uniquely, these photographs celebrate the self-possessed presence and power of visibility. A do-rag, a chest binder, and a stoic portrait communicate activism in culture, identity and self-expression. You can see these photographs in The Slipstream through April 10 along with other works from our collection that explore strategies for staying grounded, gathering strength, and considering paths into the future.
