Join us for a conversation with artist Sadie Barnette in connection with the exhibition Sadie Barnette: Family Business, part of the ongoing series Visualizing Abolition co-organized with the Institute of the Arts and Sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Sadie Barnette's photography, drawing, objects and installations embody collective and familial histories. Grounded in acts of celebration and resistance, her work is also tethered to the other-worldly, offering glittering speculative spaces. Unconfined to a particular medium, her modular practice holds the poetics and politics of city space, adornment, and "the living room." Recent projects include the reclamation of a 500-page FBI surveillance file amassed on her father during his time with the Black Panther Party and her interactive reimagining of his bar -- San Francisco's first Black-owned gay bar.
Born and raised in Oakland, California, she earned her BFA from CalArts and her MFA from the University of California, San Diego. Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States and internationally and is in the permanent collections of museums such as LACMA, the California African American Museum, Brooklyn Museum, the Guggenheim, and The Studio Museum in Harlem -- where she was also Artist-in-Residence. She is represented by Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles.
