Bambitchell: Dolphins, ships and other vessels
March 18, 12:00 – 1:30 PM |听
In this performance reading, hosted by the Henry Art Gallery, artist duo Bambitchell continue their exploration of the legal frameworks that govern non-human animals and objects, moving from the territorial jurisdictions explored in their film听听(2019), to the legal realm of the sea.听Dolphins, ships and other vessels听is a polyvocal narrative that spans bodies of water. Stretching from Te Moana-o-Raukawa, to the South China Sea, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and the Clyde and Kaniatarowanenneh Rivers, the narrative traces the disappearance and reappearance of a dolphin, the reincarnations of ships, and the embodiments of Jinn鈥攁s vessels, mammals, water, myth, and law.

UW Dance Presents
Streaming through March 28 |听
The Department of Dance is excited to present new works from nationally and internationally recognized choreographers Rujeko Dumbutshena, Alana Isiguen, Rachael Lincoln, Juliet McMains, “Majinn” Mike O’Neal, and Jennifer Salk, with guest artists Alex Dugdale and Alice Gosti.
Presented digitally, these explorations of dance on film examine themes ranging from human connection and identity to the joy of rhythm and music as movement. The new works, generated from a diverse range of movement styles, feature dancers set against local Seattle backdrops including Magnuson Park and on stage at Meany Center for the Performing Arts. The performances feature new collaborations and several original music compositions, including by Zimbabwean-born local Seattle artist Paul Mataruse and compositions by UW music students Griffin Becker and Lucas Zeiter performed by the 天美影视传媒 Wind Ensemble.

Jacob Lawrence:听The American Struggle
Through May 23 |听
Jacob Lawrence: The American Struggle听questions the stories we鈥檝e been told by amplifying narratives that have been systematically overlooked from America鈥檚 history. This exhibition reunites Lawrence鈥檚 revolutionary 30-panel series听Struggle: From the History of the American People听(1954鈥�56) for the first time since 1958, and Seattle Art Museum will be its only West Coast venue. These modernist paintings chronicle pivotal moments from the American Revolution through to westward expansion and feature Black, female, and Native protagonists as well as the founders of the United States.听Lawrence interprets the democratic debates that defined the early nation and echoed into the civil rights movements during which he was painting the听Struggle听series. Works by contemporary artists Derrick Adams, Bethany Collins, and Hank Willis Thomas engage themes of democracy, justice, truth, and the politics of inclusion to show that the struggle for expansive representation in America continues.
