Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dedication in ink on front endpaper. Rooted Communities features twenty-two sculptures, works on paper, and mixed-media installations by Jamaican-born artist Nari Ward. The exhibition will be on view from February 7 through January 11. Based in New York, Ward explores controversial issues surrounding citizenship, cultural consumption, discrimination, race, and poverty. His powerful yet delicate works reveal his profound respect for the process of making art, which can transform the mundane and unattractive into something of great beauty. Ward is the recipient of the Nadine Carter Russell Endowed Chair, a rotating residency in the LSU College of Art + Design.
