Two artists render the historical legacies of racism.
Shadowboxing at FreedmanArt in New York City joins the works of photographer Nona Faustine and painter Kit White in a tête-à-tête that grapples with history, national memory, landscape, racism, and violence. In 2018, both artists were invited by curator Lisa Banner to discuss their work at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, and White then invited Faustine to collaboratively organize this show. Shadowboxing demonstrates the ways in which Faustine and White engage with American history in their respective practices, as well as their use of the photographic image to share distinct perspectives on a contested American landscape, both past and present.
