World Without End: The George Washington Carver Project

September 18, 2024 @ 9:00 am - March 2, 2025 @ 5:00 pm

Center for Black Visual Culture.

co-curated by Cameron Shaw, Executive Director, and Yael Lipschutz, independent curator.

George Washington Carver was a pioneer of plant-based engineering and one of the nation’s earliest proponents of sustainable agriculture. A trained and practicing artist, Carver used sustainable materials such as peanut- and clay-derived dyes and paints in his many weavings and still-life paintings. World Without End explores how contemporary artists and scientists working today engage with Carver’s ideas and interests. Alongside contemporary artworks, the exhibition will include Carver’s rarely seen paintings, laboratory equipment, and notebooks. Both the exhibition and its catalogue, which includes previously unpublished material documenting Carver’s life and work at Tuskegee University, will reframe and center Carver’s lasting impact on art and science.
