Exhibition Opening | American Sampler: Activating the Archive
Details
The art, language, and legacy of protest.
American Sampler: Activating the Archive opens Jan. 24 at UMMA.
Spanning the 1950s–1970s, the exhibition brings together artworks, archival documents, and rare ephemera to trace interconnected movements for Black freedom, civil rights, and resistance to the Vietnam War—and the powerful visual strategies that fueled them.
Through bold juxtapositions of art and protest material, American Sampler invites visitors to consider how dissent is created, communicated, and remembered.
