Review by Alisa Prince, Boston Art Review.
At the Ethelbert Cooper Gallery, the exhibition, co-curated by Dr. Deborah Willis and Dr. Cheryl Finley presents memory as both a method and mandate for liberation, tracing the afterlives of history through photography, film, and archival intervention. Free as they want to be: Artists Committed to Memory is a traveling exhibition that was first on view at Clark Atlanta University Art Museum.
It was also on view through June 30, 2025, at the Ethelbert Cooper Gallery of African and African American Art at Harvard University’s Hutchins Center for African and African American Research.
