“We the People” surveys 25 years of artist Nari Ward’s work, and the exhibition has been traveling the country for well over a year, but it is impossible to see the retrospective’s latest incarnation through anything other than the filter of the past six weeks, as the Black Lives Matter movement has swept the country. Ward’s work has consistently examined the Black experience in America, specifically through the lens of physicality, of actual lives lived, and in that way it connects inescapably to the BLM moment, which itself is rooted in physicality, namely the death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd, who died while in the custody of police officers on May 25. As an artist, Ward works in symbols and metaphors.
