Tribute to Vision & Justice Project and Founder Sarah Elizabeth Lewis
Frieze New York galleries and institutions respond to: ‘How are the arts responsible for disrupting, complicating, or shifting narratives of visual representation in the public realm?’
A central strand of Frieze New York 2021 programming is the Tribute to the
Vision & Justice Project and its founder,
Sarah Elizabeth Lewis (Associate Professor at Harvard University). The Tribute will honour the exemplary work of the Vision & Justice Project, through an unprecedented engagement with the community of galleries participating at Frieze New York at The Shed and Frieze Viewing Room.
The Vision & Justice Project is rooted in education and is dedicated to examining art’s central role in understanding the relationship between race and citizenship in the United States. The intention of the Tribute is to explore this examination and expand the reach of the Vision & Justice Project, in order to give potential new audiences access to a visual literacy that could change the way they see the world.
