Koncepuel kunstner og TED Fellow Sanford Biggers bruger malerier, skulpturer, videoer og optræden til at sætte gang i udfordrende samtaler om historien og traumerne fra de sortes USA. Vær med mens han fremviser to overbevisende værker og deler motivationen bag hans kunst. 
"Kun gennem mere eftertænksom dialog omkring historie og race kan vi udvikle os som individer og som samfund," siger Biggers.

En kunstners ubøjelig syn på racistisk vold

Powerful art can open conversations that often remain buried, especially on difficult subjects like slavery and racial violence. A glass lotus seven feet across, with petals shaped as slave ships, invites viewers to see Black history as a shared, global legacy. Another work uses bullet-scarred African figures to memorialize victims of police violence. Through these haunting objects, art becomes a space for communities to confront pain, reflect together, and begin collective healing.
