Photo courtesy of Rana Young by Joe Giovannetti For School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) alum Allison Glenn (Dual MA 2012), the art of curation is about collaboration. So, when she was asked to helm an exhibition in Louisville, Kentucky, honoring the life of Breonna Taylor, Glenn knew what she needed to do: listen. Promise, Witness, Remembrance at Louisville’s Speed Art Museum earlier this year. Anchored by a portrait of Taylor by Amy Sherald, the exhibition reflected on Taylor’s life, her killing in 2020, and the local and national protests that ensued in the following year. The three titular words were developed from a conversation with Glenn and Tamika Palmer, Taylor’s mother and—as Glenn describes—the exhibition’s key stakeholder.
