Catalogue accompanying the similar named exhibition shown at Kunstmuseum Basel, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt and De Pont, Tilburg (19 Feb. - 24 July 2022). Walker (1969, USA) opened her private archives containing more than 600 drawings that she has carefully kept hidden from the outside world for the past twenty-eight years. The exhibition presented these drawings, along with brand new works and a series of animation films. For Walker, drawing and the written word are the perfect vehicles for satire and caricature, for pamphletism and subversion and for the movement of the imagination. With subjects ranging from the American history of enslavement to the presidency of Barack Obama, she challenges the viewer to question established views and deeply ingrained myths.
