Crossing the Line: The Passport Reimagined | Artist Panel Part One
Commissioned by Cynthia Sears, artists Carletta Carrington Wilson, Kitty Koppelman, and Shu-Ju Wang discuss their work and creative process for our new exhibition "Crossing the Line: The Passport Re-Imagined." The artists they share their experiences individually, and then in a panel conversation moderated by curator Catherine Alice Michaelis. Each artist explored borders and boundaries, identity, and the concept of documentation. Carletta Carrington Wilson’s literary and visual works, "Passport to a Past Port" and "The Court$hip Gazette," document and illustrate the lived experience and legacy of slavery. Kitty Koppelman’s "Gender Passport" grants permission and offers an affirmation for anyone who travels across the landscape of gender. Shu-Ju Wang’s "Passport" tells a series of nuanced micro-stories about roots, migration, and travel. Whether personal, political, daring, funny, urgent, or bureaucratic—these stories speak to our will to work and live beyond external controls.
"Crossing the Line: The Passport Re-Imagined" is on view at BIMA October 4, 2024 - February 23, 2025
