The kara Walker exhibition in Camden Arts Centre and Essay discussion related

    We went to Kara Walker's exhibition as one of the territories activity in Camden Arts Centre. Her works is filled in the whole three exhibition rooms. 
    The first room i went in is very impressive, the fall three walls are covered by the paper cuts of the silhouettes of black and white figures, the largest middle wall has been painted black and covered with white silhouettes, and oppositely, walls on two side walls were covered by black silhouette.

      by having a look the silhouettes we can easily recognize wether this figure is black people or white, the feature has been created clearly on each figure. The ridiculous and vulgar poses artists gives for all black figures gives the strong environment of race. 

          ALthough  we cant find any order for the arrangement of those figures, the whole works still very narrative.

On the other wall is a larger scale work drew by charcoal, also in the second room. The unclearly figures drew by charcoal strongly contrasted with the clearly outlines of the paper cuts.

http://www.camdenartscentre.org/whats-on/view/walker There is a video which Kara Walker was talking about her works on the Camden Web i found is reall interesting, not only about what she was saying, also how he voice and expression changed during her talking is interesting, unconsciously, her voice got lower when she was talking about some sensitive points racial discrimination, and her voice is kind of higher when she explained the her processes and experiments.
