About
Sadie Barnette’s multimedia practice explores her own family history as it mirrors a collective history of repression and resistance in the United States. Fascinated with the personal and political value of kin, her work highlights the love and humanity cultivated in familial spaces. Barnette reanimates an alternate history of Black America, one shaped by state-sanctioned terror but also by love, celebration, and the fullness of human relationships.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
Sadie Barnette shares Family Business at the San José Museum of Art this spring. The exhibition highlights a sample of Barnette’s signature work while excitingly offering a never before seen video - a first in Barnette’s creative practice. I always enjoy witnessing the product of Barnette’s exceptional eye for detail and color spectacularly on display. Look closely and prepare to be amazed.
