We the People: American Art of Social Concern
\nat Ulrich Museum of Art in Wichita, Kansas, USA
\n20 January-25 March 2018<\/h2>\n

We live in a time of heightened awareness of the broad injustices within our society. Despite the fact that the United States of America was theoretically founded on the principle of equal rights for all citizens, the definition of those who were considered as citizens has shifted over history. Race, gender, and ownership of property have been some of the qualifiers used to deny people equal rights and protections under our Constitution.<\/p>\n

Since the mid-19th century, artists have voiced the need for greater awareness and progress toward addressing social concerns such as sexism, economic inequality, and political corruption. The works of art presented in “We the People” span from the McCarthy era of the 1950s and continue to the social issues of today.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of those works is Symbol<\/em>,\u00a0a large, 1970s oil and collage work by Benny Andrews (a detail of which appears here).<\/p>\n

The exhibition is drawn from the extensive permanent collection of the Ulrich Museum (now numbering almost 7,000 works of art) and is collaboratively curated and presented by Ulrich Director Bob Workman, Wichita State University School of Art, Design & Creative Industries Assistant Professor Dr. Brittany Lockard and the eleven students in the Fall 2017 class Realism\/Activism\/American Art.<\/p>\n
