Kara Walker.
Kara Walker uses solid black silhouettes and projectors to create racist-based imagery with the appearance of 18th- and 19th-century graphics. Walker said “I knew that if I was going to make work that [dealt] with race issues, they were going to be full of contradictions.” Look at her cut paper and projector image of “They Waz Nice White Folks While They Lasted” (Says One Gal to Another) (Links to an external site.). Discuss the meaning of the work while considering the title of the work and Walker’s quote.
