.-The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis presents Stories of Resistance, a major group exhibition that explores artistic forms of resistance from across the world. Through visual narratives, the artists amplify and bring to focus the multitude of conditions that ignite and inspire people to resist. Resistance emerges from both within and outside of governmental, corporate, or institutional structures and systems of power. It takes shape in labor movements, protests, and in speaking out about injustice.

Stories of Resistance is on view from March 12 through August 15, 2021.

The garden serves as a “postcolonial” symbol of a
