Where does black visuality meet and transgress the boundaries of language? What does it afford to those dimensions of blackness and black history that refuse to be described, narrated, or recounted in words?

"Traces of Care," curated by Olivia Ann Breibart, questions how care is embodied and given form in the work of three artists: Janine Antoni, Hannah Levy, and Hannah Wilke. "Traces of Care" will be on view at the Wallach Art Gallery from March 29 to April 13, 2025.
