Minnesota Public Radio discusses the new exhibition “A Nation Takes Place: Navigating Race and Water in Contemporary Art” at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum in Winona. Co-curated by Tia-Simone Gardner and Shana M. griffin, the exhibition explores the historical connections between water and the violent legacies of colonialism, enslavement, and genocide. Featuring works from 38 artists, the exhibition juxtaposes contemporary and historical art to examine these themes. As the article notes, the exhibition highlights “lethal technologies of enslavement, colonialism, genocide, dispossession, and extraction.”
