Rarely has an historical exhibition proved to be so timely—and to provoke so much meaningful discussion among its numerous viewers.The works in Soul of a Nation were forged in a crucible of institutionalized racism and codified prejudice that had pervaded the entire American nation for centuries. Galvanized to take action, and inspired by the Civil Rights struggle for equality and justice, African American artists determined to use art and culture as catalysts for self-definition, self-empowerment, and self-determination.The artists represented in Soul of a Nation worked in numerous cities across the United States and in multiple media. The de Young’s presentation of Soul of a Nation will include an expanded group of works by artists who worked in the Bay Area. Their paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, collages, assemblages, and custom clothing contributed to the Black Power movement by promoting personal and cultural pride, collective solidarity and empowerment, political and social activism, and pan-African nationalism. Long marginalized, these revelatory works and the enduring relevance of their messages are now understood to be central to the complex histories of American culture.
