SUMMARY:Isaac Julien: Lessons of the Hour — Frederick Douglass
DESCRIPTION:Sir Isaac Julien’s moving image installation Lessons of the Hour (2019) interweaves period reenactments across five screens to create a vivid picture of nineteenth-century activist\, writer\, orator\, and philosopher Frederick Douglass. Through critical research\, fictional reconstruction\, and a marriage of poetic image and sound\, Julien asserts Douglass’ enduring lessons of justice\, abolition\, and freedom that remain just as relevant today. \nLessons of the Hour features passages from Douglass’ key speeches\, including the titular “Lessons of the Hour\,” “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” and “Lecture on Pictures.” \nJulien weaves together reenacted scenes from Douglass’ life and lectures\, filming at his historic home in Washington\, DC\, and a restaged studio of famed Black photographer J.P. Ball (1825–1904) as he makes a portrait of Douglass. Images of contemporary Baltimore—the city where Douglass was enslaved and escaped from bondage in 1838—including footage of fireworks and protests in 2015 following the death of Freddie Gray\, Jr. while in police custody\, are interspersed as the struggle to make good on America’s promise of equality continues. \nLessons of the Hour was jointly acquired by SAAM and the National Portrait Gallery in 2023. The 28-minute work debuted for Washington audiences December 8\, 2023\, and remains on public view through the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States in 2026.

SUMMARY:Glenn Kaino: Bridge
DESCRIPTION:Glenn Kaino’s powerful aerial sculpture Bridge is comprised of 200 golden arms hanging from the ceiling of SAAM’s Luce Foundation Center. Each is a casting of the outstretched right arm of Tommie Smith\, the American winner of the men’s 200-meter race at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City. During the medal ceremony\, Smith bowed his head and raised his black-gloved fist in a symbolic act of protest. Coming at a moment of turmoil in the United States\, where public unrest flared over the war in Vietnam\, racial discrimination and inequality\, and the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy\, his gesture was an assertion of Black solidarity in the fight for human rights. Echoed by the American bronze medalist John Carlos\, it inspired social causes around the world and irrevocably changed Smith’s own life.
