Exhibitions

The Block’s 40th Anniversary celebration culminates with Who Says, Who Shows, What Counts: Thinking about History with The Block’s Collection, an exhibition inviting visitors to think critically about how artists, artworks, and museums engage with narratives of the past. 

A recent addition to The Block Museum collection, the work investigates the Indigenous histories of Fort Marion, Florida (also known as Castillo de San Marco).

How has art been used to protest, process, mourn, and memorialize anti-Black violence within the United States? Northwestern’s Block Museum of Art presents an original exhibition exploring how artists have engaged with the reality of anti-Black violence and its accompanying challenges of representation.
