Kara Walker

high art hustle.

people comment on Ms. Walker's work as if it's on a subject that's gone from the world and belongs to the past. you are kidding, AREN'T YOU? there are slaves where ever you turn around; women are suppressed in too many places; and children; and some men too... there is still slavery goes on in Africa. and any muslim man who's alive (and there are millions of them) control and suppress the women and kids around him. Wake up, people. this work is current and is amazing.

Good point. The problem is Kara does'nt connect her work to the contemporary manifestations of slavery. She is stuck in the past of the American system of chattel slavery. She's constantly making statements that articulates how much she wants to go back and experience the past. She essentially says it in this video. The Psycho said "all blacks want to slaves a little bit " Her perverse desire to be a slave is sick & twisted. It has nothing to do with abolishing it in its current form.

The souls of deceased slaves speaks through Ms. Walker' work . Her art is amazing, i love it .

Its a sham people! Wake up and move on...

What's Sophisticated about regurgitating The Atrocities that took place on a Slave Plantation? Kara simply illustrates that White Slave Masters murdered and raped Black Women, chopped up Black babies. were murdered themselves occasionally when Slaves revolted. We all know the History. Where is the Sophistication? How is this valuable and empowering and moving the conversation forward? It simply takes us back to a place no one wants to revisit.

Kara Walker doesn't come close to Basquiat! she relishes her role as the victim! Whereas Basquiat Asserts himself and Americans of African descent as the Victors! His works value is self evident. She simply illustrates Atrocities that took place on the Plantation. How are anyone Black or White able to gain anything from seeing a Slave Owner chop up a Black Child? She actually said All Blacks want to be slaves a little bit. The woman is clearly insane!

Brilliant commentary! I can never get beyond how much she looks like a Slave. Walking around in those weird antebellum southern garb. Big plantation dresses. The chick is sick & twisted. For Real! she relishes her role as the victim.

well, i like her.shes deep nothing more said.
