Speaking Volumes: Transforming Hate
The Montana Human Rights Network acquired 4,000 volumes of white supremacist propaganda from a defecting official of the World Church of the Creator. They approached the Holter Museum with the idea to use the books to create art for an exhibition. More than 100 artists from coast to coast responded to the Holter Museum of Art's open invitation to reflect upon or transform white supremacist propaganda. The astonishing and moving result - in sculpture, video, painting, photography, collage, printmaking, book arts, beadwork, fiber, and performance - is thought-provoking, insightful, and turns dark to light. More than 60 pieces were selected and will be on exhibition at the Holter Museum of Art from Jan. 25 to April 13. This exhibition seeks to challenge and expand us by bringing us face-to-face with different perspectives, breaking through the limits of our comfort, and taking us beyond familiar ground to new territory. Our highest hope for this exhibition is that it will start conversations within families and between strangers, and help us all create a better community.
