Director's Tour — "Deborah Roberts: Consequences of being"

Join Everson Museum Director & CEO Elizabeth Dunbar for an enriching guided tour of the special exhibition Deborah Roberts: Consequences of being.

The exhibition brings together large-format paintings, works on paper, and— for the first time in Deborah Roberts’ career—ceramic sculpture. The exhibition marks a significant expansion of the Austin, Texas–based artist’s practice and a deepening investigation into the histories and legacies of colonialism. Roberts, who received her MFA from Syracuse University, uses collage to approach identity as something fragmented and continually reconstructed, reclaiming found materials and images to examine how Black bodies are seen, positioned, and understood globally.
