Be sure to check out the latest exhibits at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum and the Blanton Museum of Art. At the Bullock Museum, a photo exhibit called “This Light of Ours: Activist Photographers of the Civil Rights Movement” captures the day-to-day struggles of everyday citizens working to end segregation, race-based disenfranchisement, and Jim Crow laws in the 1960s. Through 150 black-and-white photographs taken by activist photographers—themselves a part of the movement—learn more about the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee’s strategy and activities during the civil rights era. The exhibit runs through May.
“The Avant-garde Networks of Amauta: Argentina, Mexico, and Peru in the 1920s” explores how the magazine Amauta, published in Peru from 1926 to 1930, played an integral role in capturing the major artistic and political conversations of the decade around innovation, indigenism, and more. View more than 300 objects, including paintings, sculptures, poetry, ceramics, tapestries, woodcut prints, and publications, now through May 17.
