Kara Walker

“One of my earliest memories involves sitting on my dad’s lap in his studio in the garage of our house and watching him draw. I remember thinking: ‘I want to do that, too,’

and I pretty much decided then and there at age 2½ or 3 that I was an artist just like Dad.” —Kara Walker

Born 1969- still alive

Life

Who

is she? Kara Walker is a contemporary African American artist who explores race, gender, sexuality, violence and identity in her work. She is best known for her room-size black cut-paper

silhouettes

She was born in California. Moved to Georgia at age 13.

Slide11

Her Art

What is it about?

Her compositions play off stereotypes to portray, often horrifically, life on the plantation, where masters and mistresses and slave men, women, and children enact a subverted version of the past in an attempt to reconfigure their status and representation.She makes room-size cut-paper silhouettes depicting historical narratives haunted by sexuality, violence, and suppression

Slide12

Her first full scale show was held by the Walker Art Center

At 27, she was the youngest to receive the John D & Cathy T MacArthur foundation’s “

Genius Grant”Over the past decade, she has gained national and international recognition

for her

art

Slide13

Walker’s scenarios spoil conventional readings of a cohesive national history and expose the collective, and ongoing, psychological injury caused by the tragic legacy of slavery.

Over the past years she has used drawing, painting, colored-light projections, writing, shadow puppetry, and, most recently, film animation to narrate her tales of romance, sadism, oppression and liberation.
