Join SAAM’s Lunder Education Chair Carol Wilson for a guided conversation about Glenn Kaino’s aerial sculpture Bridge. The work is comprised of Protected content arms, each a casting of the outstretched right arm of American Olympian Tommie Smith, who famously bowed his head and raised his black-gloved fist in a symbolic act of protest during a medal ceremony at the Protected content Games in Mexico City. The monumental sculpture is part of an ongoing collaboration between Kaino and Smith and is a reflection on the power of the athlete’s gesture about 50 years after it occurred.
