Violence Transformed features works drawn, with three exceptions, from the museum’s collections that demonstrate the role of art in transforming tragedies and inspiring hope. Our exhibition is part of the larger Violence Transformed project, which is collaboration among artists, activists, museum professionals, academics and community service providers from diverse segments of the greater Boston community.
Phillip Harvey, Editor of the online journal Nat Creole, and painter Cullen Washington select contemporary works that examine how artists from many cultural traditions represent narratives of transformation provoked by violence. The exhibition is part of the larger multi-institutional Violence Transformed collaboration that uses art to address and mediate violence and to promote social healing.
