“Contested Histories”
with Nancy Hirshbein, Museum Docent and
Founder of Dial-a-Docent
History might seem pretty straightforward - dates, places, and names. But the stories we tell about historical events are anything but. History is often deliberately obscured, shaped and sometimes downright denied to serve particular purposes. Using artist Mark Bradford’s monumental work “Pickett’s Charge” as well as works by Titus Kaphar, Hirshhorn museum docent Nancy Hirshbein will lead us in a discussion of some of the ways in which artists interrogate historical narrative. This subject has particular resonance as we look toward ways that these historical narratives can shape world view. The interactive presentation will last approximately 45 minutes, followed by a question and answer period.
