We revisit histor

‘We revisit history in order to add a different context and meaning to it. I often think of history itself as a material – a malleable material,’ artist @SanfordBiggers told @SurfaceMag. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At Art Basel Miami Beach, #SandfordBiggers will debut a new body of ceramic wall works inspired by the lush geometries of his quilt constructions, presented by @DavidCastilloGallery. Through his works, the artist tells uneasy histories that do not pinpoint individual narratives but present the collective experiences and shared traumas of people subjected to the violence of America’s fiercely racialized past.
