Artist Talk with Katrina Andry // July 19th at 2 p.m. In the second addition of our Summer Artist Talk Series, New Orleans artist Katrina Andry will be speaking about her artwork which includes mixed media and printmaking processes. Andry’s work explores the negative effects of stereotypes on the lives of black people and how these stereotypes give rise to biased laws and ideologies in our society. Her large-scale prints confront the viewer with these derogatory cultural clichés. Andry displayed works in 2018 at LSU MOA in her exhibition titled Katrina Andry: The Promise of the Rainbow Never Came which included large-scale color reduction prints and a mixed-media, site-specific installation for the exhibition. This body of work offered an alternate mythology for African men, women, and children thrown overboard during the Middle Passage, but also suggests the lingering violence against people of color. Andry’s series considers the promise of the rainbow—the promise not to be destroyed again by water—unfulfilled for people of color who continue to endure violence and erasure three hundred years after the initial journey toward enslavement.
