‘Witness: Art and Civil Rights in the Sixties’ It’s hard to believe half a century has gone by since America’s Civil
Rights Act was passed into law. Particularly when incidents like the tragedy now called simply “Ferguson” in the media illustrate the malignant persistence of racial discrimination. In the turbulent period of the 1960s and early ’70s, artists were among the throngs fighting and working for justice — and simultaneously creating a collective aesthetic of social protest. In observance of the Civil Rights Act’s 50th anniversary, the Hood Museum at Dartmouth College has mounted an exhibit by 66 artists active in that
decade. It includes some 100 works — painting, photography, sculpture, mixed-media and graphic arts — by African American artists as well as white, Latino, native and Asian American and Caribbean-based contemporaries. The exhibit is on view through December 14. Pictured: “Lawdy Mama” (1969) by Barkley L. Hendricks.
