For Whom a Flag Can Be: Contemporary Art Talk by Luca Molnar
Advertisement
Stetson University Associate Professor Luca Molnar examines how contemporary artists reinterpret the American tradition of protest through works that challenge and expand the meaning of the flag, and who it represents.
Faith Ringgold's exhibition The People's Flag Show, Dread Scott's What is the Proper Way to Display a U.S. Flag?, and David Hammons' African-American Flag interrogate the loaded symbol of the U.S.-American flag. In conjunction with the exhibition Our Flag in American Art: 1935-2026, this talk by Luca Molnar will focus on how minoritized contemporary artists respond to the very American practices of protest, highlighting artwork that reimagines what and for whom a flag can be.
