“Art making has the ability to move people along their journey of grief and loss into a more balanced place of healing and hope.” — Bill de Blasio

The Department of Art & Archaeology remembers and honors all those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and the families, friends, and communities forever touched by this tragedy. We also honor the first responders, workers, and others who became ill or lost their lives as a result of their service and work at Ground Zero.

Carlos Martiel: Great Nation Features Interview and Photography by A&A Graduate Student Georgie Sánchez

Cover, Great Nation, photographed by Georgie Sánchez

Newly released Carlos Martiel: Great Nation, the first monograph devoted to the work of Cuban-born performance artist Carlos Martiel, features an extensive bilingual conversation between Martiel and A&A graduate student, writer, and curator Georgie Sánchez. Sánchez also contributed several photographs to the publication, including its cover image. Edited by Vania Macías Osorno and Ana Gabriela García, the book is published by Temblores Publicaciones (2026).

Martiel has developed a performance practice in which his body becomes both artistic material and a site for confronting histories of racialization, colonialism, migration, policing, incarceration, and state violence. His performances have been presented internationally, including at El Museo del Barrio and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and as part of the Dakar Biennial.

Sánchez and Martiel’s conversation grows out of a friendship and ongoing dialogue that began in New York in 2015. They discuss Martiel’s use of blood and bodily endurance; Blackness and queer identity; colonialism and migration; police and state violence; monumentality and collective memory; the HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 pandemics; and the expansion of his practice since 2020 into sculpture, video, installation, and archival forms. Martiel describes a central aim of his practice as “restoring human dignity to bodies that have historically been denied their right to exist and to exercise their freedom.”

By Anisa Tavangar, A&A Graduate Student

This August, I joined A&A graduate students Julia Curl, Isabelle Devereaux, and Terence Washington as well as research scholar and lecturer AnnMarie Perl, at the 2026 conference for the International Society for the Study of Surrealism (ISSS) in Glasgow. The conference invited scholars from around the world to present on topics related to Surrealism, broadly defined, and “Light,” approached physically, phenomenologically, linguistically, culturally, or otherwise.

Julia Curl chaired the panel “Science and Technology,” which featured scholars from the Free University of Berlin, the University of Edinburgh, and Bauhaus University Weimar. Isabelle Deveraux presented a paper titled “Recasting Degeneracy: Plasticity and the Medical Moulage in Hans Bellmer’s La Poupée (1933-1934).”

And I chaired the panel “(Afro)Surrealism and Race” and presented a paper titled “Seeing the Surreal in Early Congolese Modernism, 1926-1960.”

Attending the ISSS conference helped me think about my dissertation research more creatively, getting out of my usual field and applying surrealist concepts to Congolese modernist painting. I found the conference energizing and interesting, and it made me curious about how theories and methods from a range of art historical discourses could interact with my research.

Marlene Militz Authors Essay on East German Art in Die Zeit

Excerpt from Die Zeit, August 17, 2026

"Simply showing it is not enough"

Finally: This summer, East German art is on view everywhere—but it is often misunderstood and forced into a Western mold. So what should be done?

By Marlene Militz, A&A Graduate Student

“In June, for the first time in ages, my mother had to explain a work of art to me. Since I started pursuing a PhD in art history, the direction of explanation had, in fact, been reversed. But when we stood together in front of the light-green-painted interior wall of the German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, she had to identify many of the objects on display for me: here, a portrait of the young Ernst Thälmann, there, the profile of the elderly Wilhelm Pieck; here, an NVA gas mask, there, a wooden diorama from the Erzgebirge. Only the East German Sandman I recognized myself.

Despite my East German roots, I was dependent on my mother to decipher Henrike Naumann’s Wall of Hieroglyphs—a central work by the artist, who was born in Zwickau in 1984 and passed away far too early this year. It is not surprising that visual worlds and cultural references at a Biennale are not always easy to decode. Yet anyone standing helplessly before the visual language of the GDR also finds themselves standing helplessly before their own recent past—one that many had tuned out for three decades. This also applies to the German Pavilion, which during the period of division was exclusively used by the FRG and is now, for the first time, explicitly confronting the heritage of the GDR and the post-reunification era.”

PUBLICATIONS

New Release: Thinking from Black: A Lexicon, Edited by Tina M. Campt, et al.

Edited by Tina Campt, Kaiama Glover, Canisia Lubrin, Tavia Nyong’o, Christina Sharpe, Alexander Weheliye, Thinking from Black: A Lexicon was published this week by Macmillan Publishers. The book's contributors—the Practicing Refusal Collective—are visual artists, poets, dancers, historians, writers, architects, painters, theorists, activists, anthropologists, filmmakers, educators, and musicians. Each has engaged with the idea of a lexicon of Black living and taken up the invitation to think from Black in relation to their own medium.

Some terms are enunciated in a poetic register—such as Redaction, Seeing, and Song. Some are aspirational—such as Solidarity, Garden, and Care. Some entries, such as BlackSound, Fantasy, Mathematics, and Dispossession, work in a more theoretical idiom. Words such as Gesture and Syncopation are composed of both text and drawings, and summon the body in motion. The word Time, which is defined twice, carries with it musicality, duration, and refusal. Together, these definitions offer a sense of some of the many ways that Black people tend to each other and the world.

Read in relation to each other, the terms create a rich, startling lexicon that is eclectic, elliptical, cross-genre, historical, speculative, and literary—a set of words, phrases, concepts, and ideas that are part of the many languages constituting and animating Black life. Thinking from Black is a book to be read with others, as it was created. It is a book to live and think and act with, in the world.

Daniel Bracho ’21 Celebrates Curaçao's Culture through Art and Real Estate Development

Daniel Bracho ’21 continued his work at Roberti & Company, a Curaçao-based real estate development firm advancing a more radical proposition for the built environment: that development should not flatten place into commodity but produce architecture with memory, cultural intelligence, and generational consequence. Working across architectural design, civil engineering construction, interiors, real estate advisory, and LiDAR surveying, the firm approaches building as both craft and criticism—an argument that form, material, context, and heritage should shape the future of the Dutch Caribbean rather than be erased by it. For Daniel, construction is not novelty or spectacle—it is continuity, rigor, and the creation of places that can endure intellectually, culturally, and materially over time. Daniel also helps support the global legacy of José Maria Capricorne, one of his favorite Curaçaoan artists, as part of his broader commitment to Curaçao’s cultural and artistic future.
