Walking the Horizon
August 31, 2018 to April 21, 2019 Jepson CenterTelfair Museums presents Walking the Horizon, an #art912 exhibition of the late Savannah-based artist Bertha Husband (Scottish, 1948–2017) in tribute to her tremendous legacy in the art world, both in the United States and abroad.
Through the combination of narrative imagery and text, Husband made compelling works that always addressed broader issues of political and social concern. Husband traveled extensively, exhibited internationally, and was part of several artist collectives in her ongoing effort to show that art has the power to subvert and liberate.
This exhibition is organized by Telfair Museums and curated by Milutin Pavlovic.
