Join Everson Director & CEO, Elizabeth Dunbar, for an enriching guided tour of the special exhibition Deborah Roberts: Consequences of being.
The exhibition brings together large-format paintings, works on paper, and— for the first time in Deborah Roberts’ career—ceramic sculpture. The exhibition marks a significant expansion of the Austin, Texas–based artist’s practice and a deepening investigation into the histories and legacies of colonialism. Roberts, who received her MFA from Syracuse University, uses collage to approach identity as something fragmented and continually reconstructed, reclaiming found materials and images to examine how Black bodies are seen, positioned, and understood globally.
Deborah Roberts: Consequences of being was organized by The FLAG Art Foundation, New York, NY.
Deborah Roberts: Consequences of being is supported by Catherine Winger. The Everson is supported by the General Operating Support program, a regrant program of the County of Onondaga with the support of County Executive, J. Ryan McMahon II, and the Onondaga County Legislature, administered by CNY Arts; and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
