Kara Walker: The Past on Stage
 


In this class, we delve into the world of artist Kara Walker, on the occasion of her exhibition at Fundación Proa. We will explore the work of this key figure in contemporary art, from her beginnings and connection with drawing to her celebrated paper cut silhouettes and prints. The session examines how her work confronts the memory of slavery, racial stereotypes, and the tensions between history, power, and imagination. The class was led by Noemí Aira, a member of Fundación Proa’s education team.
