As part of the opening day celebration of the exhibition, Kara Walker: Harper’s Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated), the Weisman Art Museum presents a keynote lecture on "Kara Walker, Winslow Homer, Blackness, & AI" with Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw. The keynote lecture considers the ongoing engagement with Harper’s Weekly illustrations made by Winslow Homer and other artists during the Civil War by contemporary artists, like Kara Walker, who have sought to transform them, and by everyday art lovers who search for historical images of African Americans to add to their home decor. It will explore what insight these contested historical images might give us into the desires of contemporary art audiences in a world in which artificial intelligence is radically altering the terrain of art creation and consumption.
