Re:mancipation...Artist Sanford Biggers & The Chazen Museum of Art take on the Monumental task of rethinking Thomas Ball’s controversial sculpture

The Chazen Museum of Art is supporting artist Sanford Biggers and his collaborators, MASK Consortium (Founding Partners Mark Hines, P94 & Alicia Hines, P95), in addressing institutional racism by studying, and remixing Thomas Ball’s monumental bronze Emancipation Group, installed at Lincoln Park in the Capitol Hill section of Washington, DC. This project, titled "Re:mancipation," will include the production of a counter-monument created by Biggers, a series of symposia, and a documentary that will provide audiences with an intimate look at the Consortium’s directive to address social justice and equity through artistic interpretation.
