| Making a Statement: Gordon Parks's Gift of Photographs
Planning for a 2,950 square-foot temporary exhibition, a catalog, and a website exploring the life and work of multidisciplinary artist Gordon Parks (1912–2006) and his relationship with his home state of Kansas.
The proposed exhibition and related digital archive examine two important moments when the artist Gordon Parks reconnected with his home state of Kansas and fashioned his artistic vision: a gift of photos to Kansas State University and the filming of his novel The Learning Tree.
