Screens Series: Hannah Black continues the New Museum’s Screens Series, a platform for the presentation of new video works by emerging contemporary artists. Drawing from Marxist, feminist, and radical black theory, Hannah Black’s works are driven by voiceovers and inter-titles that illuminate fissures in history and evoke the feelings of alienation and vulnerability that are amplified by social media and the profit structures of capitalism. Language is central to her videos, and her poetic indictments subtly take aim at the legacies of violence and oppression that continue to shape people’s experiences, senses of identity, and relationships to others.
