This brochure accompanies "Laura Anderson Barbata: Transcommunality," on view at the Newcomb Art Museum of Tulane University from January 16 to October 2, 2021. The exhibition focuses on five collaborations that Anderson Barbata has made across the Americas and presents them together for the first time. Though varying in process, tradition, and message – each of these collaborative projects emphasizes Anderson Barbata’s understanding of art as a system of shared practical actions that has the capacity to increase communication around topics of cultural diversity and to create sites of human connection or belonging. Contributing authors include Edith Wolfe, Ph.D., Assistant Director of the Stone Center for Latin American Studies at Tulane University, Laura Rosanne Adderley, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Department of History at Tulane University, and Laura Blereau, Curator and Coordinator of Academic Programming at the Newcomb Art Museum of Tulane University.
