KLCC's Brian Bull reports on the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art's grant-funded exhibit on Black Lives Matter, with four artists.
As you enter the upstairs wing of the museum, one of the first pieces you see is a giant photo of Malik Lovette. Circled by other photos of prominent Black athletes, Lovette stands in the center, prying off heavy steel shackles.
“The title of the work is 'Unchained', and basically it’s just exemplifying the parallels between sports and slavery ultimately, and then it’s also a reflection of my personal life, of just being put in a box," explains Lovette.
