Mall Art
Manage episode 403420642 series 2519747
The National Mall is a great canvas, in part because of all the history embedded there. It’s been a place of protest, celebration and mourning. It also hosts some spectacular monuments. But critic Salamishah Tillet says there is a lot of history missing from the Mall as a commemorative space, like desegregation and the displacement of Indigenous people.
Kim speaks with Salamishah about the ‘Beyond Granite’ exhibition she co-curated on the Mall, and also with Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada, the artist who created the largest portrait ever to go on display there. It was a six-acre composite portrait of several anonymous young men who had one thing in common: They all identified themselves as Americans.
See the artwork we discussed:
Out Of Many, One, by Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada
Of Thee We Sing, by vanessa german
The Soil You See…, by Wendy Red Star
America’s Playground: DC, by Derrick Adams
