Art: Kara Walker’s videos at the Hammer

Share

Kara Walker’s biting, sometimes humorous commentary on race and the antebellum South, as expressed through her art installations and videos, has secured her a place of international prominence. Slavery, exploitation, sexuality and how American history has typically dealt with such themes hold a place in nine of Walker’s videos on display at the Hammer. Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Blvd., L.A. On Sunday, videos will be screened continuously from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 3 to 5 p.m. And at 2 p.m., there will be a conversation with Walker and writer Hilton Als. Free. (310) 443-7000. https://www.hammer.ucla.edu
