Meet the Artist: Kamari Carter was held in conjunction with Carter's solo exhibition "Rekindled" (www.wavehill.o...) in the Sunroom Project Space at Wave Hill from July 3 through August 15, 2021. Kamari Carter and Curator of Visual Arts Eileen Jeng Lynch discussed the artist’s installation, which investigates the local, forgotten, colonial-era histories of Black communities in the Hudson Valley, examining systems of violence, racial and social control and identity. Carter talked about how his sculpture commemorates and memorializes the lives of two, young, enslaved Black women who were accused of arson and publicly lynched in 1794, despite a lack of evidence.
