How have video artists addressed issues of race and colonialism, including artists historically privileged by these relations of power? Coinciding with the opening of her provocative exhibition, Out of Africa, Julie Rodrigues Widholm discusses her curatorial principles as well as what it means to pair the anti-colonial work of white artists such as William Kentridge, Richard Mosse, and Doug Aitken with the work of Black artists such as Steve McQueen and David Hammons. 

Julie Rodrigues Widholm has been the executive director of BAMPFA since Fall 2020. Before joining BAMPFA, Wildholm was the director of the DePaul Art Museum at DePaul University from 2015 to 2020. She graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she studied modern art history, theory, and criticism.
