The Wallach Art Gallery at Columbia University’s Lenfest Center for the Arts is pleased to open The Protest and The Recuperation, a survey of artistic perspectives on, and responses to, the global phenomenon of mass protest and of recuperative strategies of resistance. This exhibition will be the Wallach’s first exhibition open to the general public since March 2020.
The Protest and The Recuperation is curated by Wallach director and chief curator Betti-Sue Hertz. Hertz believes that “it is timely and appropriate to welcome the public back to the Wallach to view works that are an homage to the collective advocacy of social movements and the call to action against universal injustices.”
