As the leading independent producer documenting the art of our time, Art21 was established with a mission to expand access to artists and their ideas, meet audiences where they are, and explore the salient connections between artists and their communities.
The episode features internationally renowned artists Sophie Calle, Dyani White Hawk, Lubaina Himid, and Tuan Andrew Nguyen. This group of artists creates paintings, beadwork, photographs, films, and more to reexamine histories of colonization and migration, reveal the complex relationships between their personal lives and the cultures they move between, and find ways to build connections where none before existed.
Viewers will join French writer and conceptual artist Sophie Calle, as she lays her damaged photographs and personal belongings to rest in the ancient underground caverns of Arles, France; Artist and curator Dyani White Hawk (Sičáŋǧu Lakota), as she explores rarely seen Indigenous artworks housed in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum; pioneer of the 1980s Black British Arts Movement, Lubaina Himid, as she searches Lancashire flea markets for the everyday objects that become the surfaces for her paintings, connecting the marginalized subjects of her acclaimed works to the items we encounter day to day; and Vietnamese-American multidisciplinary artist Tuan Andrew Nguyen, as he collaborates with the Vietnamese shrimping community in Buras, Louisiana on a new film.
