Resistance and Reverb: Movements 1 & 2
HALL Arts Hotel
1717 Leonard St., Dallas, TX 75201

Resistance and Reverb: Movements 1 & 2 (2018) is currently on view and permanently installed at HALL Arts Hotel in Dallas, Texas. The immersive installation features over 600 tambourines whose pink surfaces evoke the Women’s Marches of January 2017 and moments of feminist activism from the 1980s and 1990s. Dispersed within the cloud of tambourines are fragments of political speeches excerpted from past and present voices of women's resistance–ranging from Sojourner Truth's 1851 speech, "Ain't I a Woman," to Alicia Garza's powerfully succinct message, "Black Lives Matter.” The installation fuses historic and contemporary expressions of activism into a unified statement of solidarity, resilience, and resistance. The distinct elements of the installation represent a multiplicity united in solidarity, yet still retaining individual agency: power placed directly in the hands of the people.

Euretta F. Adair is included as part of an ongoing exhibition at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture. Reckoning: Protest. Defiance. Resilience tells stories of injustice, resistance and courage—and looks at the ways in which visual art has long provided its own protest, commentary, escape and perspective for African Americans.
