Dread Scott

I make revolutionary art to propel history forward. This is a world where a tiny handful of people control the wealth and knowledge humanity as a whole has created. It is a world of profound polarization, exploitation, and suffering. Billions are excluded from intellectual development and full participation in society. It does not have to be this way, and my art is part of forging a radically different world. I work in a range of media: performance, installation, photography, and video. The thread that connects my work is an engagement with significant social questions confronting humanity and a desire to push formal boundaries.
