When and Where I Enter

Students applied course concepts to art from the Tang Teaching Museum collection, researching nearly fifty works of art before selecting for display a dozen photographs, prints, painting, and sculpture that examine ideas of critical whiteness in provocative and diverse ways. When and Where I Enter encourages visitors to engage with history as a series of racial projects that bestow or divest privileges and race as a construct with material and lived consequences. In a society that casts white as the invisible norm, as the default, as the unspoken, this exhibition attempts to make whiteness visible. Moreover, it attempts to make whiteness strange.
