MOVING STONES
29 September –16 December 2018
The group exhibition Moving Stones focuses on the body as a site of engagement to address our collective past embodied in public monuments. More specifically, the works in the exhibition underline the potential of corporeal gestures and senses —touch, sight, and sound— to address, acknowledge, and comprehend our complex histories. Reflecting on the relationship between History and memory, the exhibition takes place at a juncture when numerous monuments worldwide are the subjects of deliberation, such as the effigies linked to colonial or pro-slavery eras in France and in the United States.
