Curtis Talwst Santiago

This edition in the Drawing Papers series documents Curtis Talwst Santiago's Can't I Alter, and immersive, drawing-filled installation that explores the theme of ancestry and the necessity of preserving the past while ascknowledging the fallacies implicit in historical recollection. A specially- commissioned photographic exhibtiion tour accompanies new scholarship by curator Claire Gilman, a revealing conversation between the artist and collector Kenneth Montague, and a powerful contribution by the 2020 PEN/Nabakov Award-winning writer M, NourbeSe Philip.
