The ancestors are speaking through the art at the Spelman Museum of Fine Art. In the quiet of @spelmanmuseum, the past doesn’t whisper, it asserts itself. Touch a set of chains and the silence breaks into a Negro spiritual, indicating that time within the African American experience is not linear and that the past is still right here with us. In “Repossessions,” artists transform artifacts from America’s past to dive deeper into conversations about slavery, reparations and Black history. Director Liz Andrews says there’s “a kind of energy that emanates from the objects.” UATL reporter @bleighhoward joins Andrews to explore how this art reframes our past and shapes our future.
