Jeffrey Brown:
Building connections through art and history has been a major part of Daniel Minter’s own practice, also based in Portland, where he works in many forms, including sculpture, painting, collage. He’s also illustrated more than a dozen books for young readers, winning numerous honors.
And a large-scale immersive installation he created is featured in a major exhibition on the transatlantic slave trade, In Slavery’s Wake, organized by the National Museum of African American History and Culture, now traveling to museums around the globe.
