Tour of Successions: Traversing US Colonialism, with Amber Robles-Gordon
Saturday, November 6 • 1pm
sponsored by Katzen Arts Center

Successions: Traversing US Colonialism is curated by Larry Ossei-Mensah, and is on view from August 28, 2021 to December 12, 2021, at American University Museum in the Katzen Arts Center.

This solo exhibition featuring the work of Amber Robles-Gordon is a conceptual juxtaposition that celebrates abstraction as an art form while leveraging it as a tool to interrogate past and current US policies within its federal district (Washington, DC) and territories (including Guam, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands). By highlighting nuances related to US governance in its federal districts and territories, Robles-Gordon seeks to question who has access to resources, citizenship, and the right to sovereignty. Successions is a celebration of abstraction as an artistic expression while creating a pathway towards discursive criticism around issues impacting marginalized communities oppressed by the United States’ hegemonic domestic and foreign policies.
