Doris Salcedo at Glenstone

"The conversation about political violence is not closed. It is open, and it is up to us to tell the story. That is my task. It’s who I am. And it’s why I work.” — Doris Salcedo

On view in Room 2 of the Pavilions at Glenstone Museum: an exhibition of sculptures by Doris Salcedo, the first such exhibition in the Washington, D.C. area. Grounding her practice in research and firsthand interviews with survivors of political and domestic violence, Salcedo creates powerful and moving sculptures that translate the experiences of these survivors into poetic and compassionate forms. This exhibition features a recently completed work commissioned by Glenstone, “Disremembered X”, 2020/2021, a sculpture in four parts which originated from interviews the artist conducted with American mothers who have lost children to gun violence.

While we prefer to let art and the artist speak for themselves, please know this video contains discussion of forms of sexual and political violence.
