DESCRIPTION:Let Me Be A Witness surveys seventeen artists whose practices reflect a 
 wide array of what curator Stacey Goodman calls, “witness art.” Drawing 
 inspiration from the traditional response of African-American 
 church-goers’ call to testify, the work exhibited in Let Me Be A Witness 
 reflects and reframes the concerns that emerge in response to contemporary, 
 socio-political events.\n\nWith the rise of social media, the act of 
 witnessing has become a catalyst for social change by utilizing technology 
 to transform passive observers into engaged activists. Many of the works 
 presented are research-based and documentary in nature, each attempting to 
 unearth a new layer of objective truth and incite observer 
 participation.\n\nLet Me Be A Witness questions what takes place when an 
 action or a statement transforms from invisible to visible through the 
 process of making events or narratives known that may otherwise have 
 remained silent or unseen. By avoiding propagandistic techniques and 
 emphasizing nuance within the artwork, this exhibition introduces viewers 
 to the social and factual context of various subject matters, while 
 providing the context for further investigation.\n\nParticipating
