KARA WALKER’S KATASTWÓF KARAVAN AT WHITNEY MUSEUM
New York October 2019
Visual documentation of Kara Walker’s Katastwóf Karavan at Whitney Museum.
A steam-powered calliope housed in a parade wagon. Featuring the steam whistle typical of a calliope, the custom-fabricated instrument was programmed by Walker with a compilation of jazz, gospel, and songs that, in Walker’s words, represent both “Black protest and celebration.”
