Walker is best known for her large-scale silhouette cutouts that have stirred controversy though their depictions of exaggerated racial and gender caricatures and the Antebellum South that challenge viewers to consider America's painful legacy of slavery. These powerful and provocative images address themes of racism, gender violence, and exploitation, along with power structures like imperialism and colonialism, especially as they play out in the histories and hierarchies of Art. Offering a broad overview of her career, this exhibition positions Kara Walker as a leading artist of her generation through more than 80 works in a variety of media, such as prints, drawings, paintings, sculpture, and film.
