VISUAL SIGNATURES, featuring Nikita Hunter
- 15 years ago
VISUAL SIGNATURES is a Public Service Announcement (PSA) that highlights a vast cultural array of visual artists who share with viewers their visions of creating art and the rewards of artistic expression.
NIKITA HUNTER'S paintings raise relevant questions that provoke historic as well as contemporary concerns about culture, race, identity and gender. Her works are clearly dynamic and dramatic, yet also passionate in a way that is intimate and private. Known worldwide for her Hottentot Venus (Saartje Baartman) series, Hunter excels in her ability to tell an entire story through the image of one person. When she discusses the creation of the Hottentot Venus series, in doing so, Hunter expresses a deep love for her subject and the general human condition at large.
VISUAL SIGNATURES is produced by the Intercultural Alliance of Artists & Scholars, Inc. (IAAS), a NY-based nonprofit organization that promotes multicultural literature and artistic expression. Seizing the power of television to expand social consciousness, the IAAS fuels the movement for progressive social, cultural and political transformation by exposing the public to perspectives excluded from the corporate-owned media through public access television.
