Kevin Beasley, artist grappling with history, generational memory & power in America - Heinz Awardee

Visual artist Kevin Beasley received the Heinz Award for the Arts for works that cross sculpture, sound and performance, and are inspired by his personal experiences of grappling with history, power and race in America. Constructed with culturally relevant ephemera, materials and sounds to further activate the experience of the work, his installations engage multiple senses to address complex American histories that are steeped in our shared generational memories.
