Kara Walker, a prominent contemporary artist, has unveiled her latest installation titled "Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine)" at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. This work, distinct from her earlier commissions focused on the plantation experience, delves into robotics and the histories of Black labor. The installation features eight Black automatons and aims to provoke thought about the relationship between human and nonhuman experiences in the context of racialized labor, providing a complex and intimate exploration of liberation.
"Kara Walker's latest installation at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, titled Fortuna and the Immortality Garden, presents a quieter and more intimate exploration of racialized labor through robotics."
"Often drawing from plantation themes, Walker's new work shifts focus to robotics, inviting contemplation on the intertwined histories of human and nonhuman labor."
