Conceived by the late Okwui Enwezor, “Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in America” is a group presentation at the New Museum of work by 37 intergenerational artists who examine the racism and violence experienced by Black communities across America through topics like mourning, loss, and commemoration. Including names like Kara Walker, Carrie Mae Weems, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Simone Leigh, Kerry James Marshall, Tiona Nekkia McClodden, Dawoud Bey, and Lorna Simpson, the exhibition fills all three main floors, the lobby gallery, and public spaces at the New Museum with works dating back to the civil rights movement in the 1960s up through the present day.
