Review: “Memorials” in Moca Geffen and brick

Some say it started in 2015, when Dylann entered the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, and shot and killed nine worshipers in cold blood. According to the survivors of the massacre, before opening fire, the roof told them, “You will have raped our women, and you are taking the country, and you must leave.”
It was surprising that racism was alive and well in the US, but many were shocked by the discrimination of the first case Donald Trump “when he referred to the left-wing Umbana in Charlottesville, Virginia, who left a person dead. That night in 2017, white white people gathered with the monument of Stonewall Jackson, placed on his horse. Such cows that will be made valid calculations had become victims like black things like black things and others who see them as symbols of race to protect A “unique monument” to slavery. Since then, nearly 300 monuments have been torn down in US cities, most of them in the South.
Those who are proud of the lost cause of the Confederacy’s Special say that removing public monuments is symbolic of resignation. But the only thing removed by the show, the “memorials” at Moca Geffen and the brick on May 3, 2026, is the legend of Valor. “These things aren’t history. They have history. But these things are about fiction,” said brick curracter Hamzalker, who also includes Bennett’s Simpson in the show. “People talk about regeneration. So, putting plaques around them, that’s one thing, more didactic things.” That’s what Du Bois had in mind when he argued in 1931 The problem: “If the joint memorials told the truth, they would have included texts that read: ‘Holy is the memory of those who fought to advance human slavery.'”


Moca Geffen 18 houses are being taken down, including bronze monuments that were once a portrait of Robert E. Lee, standing proudly in Charlottesville. Many bear the marks of minor demolition, such as beaux-arts master Frederick Wellyton Ruckstuhl’s pure red paint, Reconciliation Soldiers and Sailors Memorial. Like relaxation, its presence is powerfully reinforcing within the confines of the gallery. To revive these memories are sent art by doctors such as Bethany Collins, Karon Deulert, Karon Jerome, Kevin Jerome, Davter Hermome, Halter Chener, Julie Dash. Additional art by Leonardo Drew, TorKwase Dyson, and Nona Faustine, Nonagh Henry, Martin Puryear, Andres Surryear is on loan from private collectors and art institutions.
Sculptor J. MAXEN Miller’s 1917 Monument, Confederate women of Marylandstands in conversation with Jon Henry’s Fruits of Strangers A series of photographs involving black mothers and their fallen sons in memorial sites, giving voice to many who have lost their loved ones to institutional violence and racism.


A powerful counterpoint to all the monuments is Hugh Mangum’s Portraint series of African American citizens, who are nameless here but seen in a way that came from the south, where many monuments were built. Mangom’s images are strikingly similar to Andres Serrano’s color photographs of the unknown Klansmen who, in their shame, hide behind hoods. The blame rests on the Jefferson Davis-decorated Edward V. Pink-Pink-splied from 1907, which used to stand in Richmond, Virginia.
Proponents of the lost site argued that the war had nothing to do with slavery, noting that only 5.67 percent of whites were slaves and that the conflict was over southern rights and the protection of southern culture. This insignificant percentage does not take into account the fact that the changes caused by this family will put the slaves closer to 30.8 percent, and about 50 percent in South Carolina and Mississippi. Without slavery, the southern economy was insecure. Others say that the plantation life was characterized by peace, diligence and harmony. Such nostalgia for a fictional time and place was captured in the silhouette opportunities of the period, which often show children during play and contentment in the fields. In the hands of artist Kara Walker’s Hands, such nostalgia is dispelled with graphic violence silhouettes and the rape of slaves, empowering a lost cause and confronting viewers with reality.
That’s what makes Walker The perfect candidate to take the Stonewall Jackson monument to my heart in 2017 meets the right meeting. He and his team attacked the bronze statue, and reassembled it as the Grote Countaur, combining elements of Jackson with those of his favorite, a small sorrel.


“I wanted to deal with things that are used again with the act of being separated from the person who separates the horse and where the myth comes from,” Walker said in an interview with Hamza about the new clip. Random drone. “The things that we use – the lost cause, the reconstruction, the reconstruction, Jim, these symbolic realities of white supremacy – are in the blood, in a really scary way.”
Trump’s nominees have nominated only two black people among the 98 senate nominees for major government departments. It has attacked the cultural and educational institutions that support the dei routes and has targeted agencies with many fewer workers to cut, affect black workers. This comes at a time when the Supreme Court believes it is ready to move the voting rights of 1965, effectively regaining the black vote. The current iteration of the race may have started with Dylan on the roof, but its roots go back all the way to 1619 and the arrival of the first slaves on US soil.
“Sometimes you don’t even know the ebb and flow. And suddenly, looking to tear down things that I thought were salosanct, that is the ebb and flow. This moment. “A lost cause as the vision is.”
