Bambitchell: Dolphins, ships and other vessels

March 18, 12:00 – 1:30 PM |Ìý

In this performance reading, hosted by the Henry Art Gallery, artist duo Bambitchell continue their exploration of the legal frameworks that govern non-human animals and objects, moving from the territorial jurisdictions explored in their filmÌýÌý(2019), to the legal realm of the sea.ÌýDolphins, ships and other vesselsÌýis a polyvocal narrative that spans bodies of water. Stretching from Te Moana-o-Raukawa, to the South China Sea, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and the Clyde and Kaniatarowanenneh Rivers, the narrative traces the disappearance and reappearance of a dolphin, the reincarnations of ships, and the embodiments of Jinn—as vessels, mammals, water, myth, and law.

Jacob Lawrence:ÌýThe American Struggle

Through May 23 |Ìý

Jacob Lawrence: The American StruggleÌýquestions the stories we’ve been told by amplifying narratives that have been systematically overlooked from America’s history. This exhibition reunites Lawrence’s revolutionary 30-panel seriesÌýStruggle: From the History of the American PeopleÌý(1954–56) for the first time since 1958, and Seattle Art Museum will be its only West Coast venue. These modernist paintings chronicle pivotal moments from the American Revolution through to westward expansion and feature Black, female, and Native protagonists as well as the founders of the United States.ÌýLawrence interprets the democratic debates that defined the early nation and echoed into the civil rights movements during which he was painting theÌýStruggleÌýseries. Works by contemporary artists Derrick Adams, Bethany Collins, and Hank Willis Thomas engage themes of democracy, justice, truth, and the politics of inclusion to show that the struggle for expansive representation in America continues.
