Isaac Julien: Once Again . . . (Statues Never Die) at the Barnes Foundation

In celebration of the Barnes Foundation centennial, the institution commissioned Once Again . . . (Statues Never Die), an immersive five-screen installation by artist and filmmaker Sir Isaac Julien, CBE RA (b. London, 1960). The work explores the relationship between Dr. Albert C. Barnes, who was an early US collector and exhibitor of African material culture, and the famed philosopher and cultural critic Alain Locke, ‘Father of the Harlem Renaissance’. Beyond its display at the Barnes Foundation, the work will travel to different venues through 2023. Watch the trailer here.
