Opening
September 8, Angela Davis—Seize the Time is our featured exhibition for 2021-22. With more than
250 objects, it focuses on Davis and her image, inspired by and
centered on a private archive, based in Oakland, California. In
addition to archival posters, photographs, and printed news
materials, the exhibition includes works by contemporary artists who
assert Davis’s significance as a Black intersectional feminist and
engage with her as a historical participant, thinker, and activist in
a larger narrative that extends into the present day. The exhibition
examines the role of the archive in history and memory, and positions
Davis as as a continuing touchstone for individuals and groups who
call for social justice, the abolition of prisons, and the end of
economic disenfranchisement.
