Happy Birthday Kara Walker! 

Walker is well known for her provocative cut-paper silhouettes. In 2010, she installed the room-sized work Gone: An Historical Romance of a Civil War as It Occurred b'tween the Dusky Thighs of One Young Negress and Her Heart in our Marron Atrium. Listen to Walker speak about her creative process.
