Unraveled. Restructured. Revealed. Where Contemporary Art and Diverse Perspectives Intersect

February 19, 2021 – May 23, 2021
Trout Museum of Art
Appleton, Wisconsin

Guest curated by Tyanna J. Buie, Unraveled. Restructured. Revealed: Where Contemporary Art and Diverse Perspectives Intersect brings together over 60 contemporary artists from across Wisconsin, the country, and world exploring inclusion and diversity through art.

We’re excited to announce that Romano Johnson will have work in this exhibit!

Curator Speaks:

What is inclusion and diversity today? We are recognizing more and more people and communities that have been marginalized for decades.

If we look at the word “marginalized,” we’re talking about a person, group, or concept that has been left out, treated as insignificant, and on the peripheral. When I think of those terms, I think about indigenous communities. I think about the L.G.B.T.Q.I.A and Latinx community, anyone from the African diaspora, and individuals who are dealing with immobility and visible/invisible disabilities.

In addition, inviting an African-American female artist to curate an exhibit in collaboration with Trout Museum of Art, is radical in and of itself. Offering me the space and opportunity to say; this is what has been missing. This is the void and we must do better.  I have no doubt that this exhibition will serve as an agent of change for inclusion and could not have happened at a more challenging time, while we are in the midst of a global pandemic and ongoing racial unrest.
