On Saturday, January 18, from 12–1pm, Yashua Klos will lead an intimate tour of Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist and All That It Implies at the Brooklyn Museum.

Working across collage, portraiture, and sculpture, Klos reimagines the Black body as an alchemical being, surviving and seeking to thrive within networks of ancestral memory, histories of labor, and lived experience. During the tour, Klos highlights key works in the exhibition and shares how Catlett’s legacy has informed his own practice.

A defining Black woman artist of the twentieth century, Elizabeth Catlett (1915–2012) has not received the mainstream art-world attention afforded many of her peers. The Brooklyn Museum, in partnership with the National Gallery of Art, closes this gap with Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist and All That It Implies, an exhibition of over 200 works that gives this revolutionary artist and radical activist her due.
