Carnegie Museum Opens Exhibits Showcasing Abercrombie Saunders Works

Treive Nicholas's book, In Search of Nongqawuse, offers a deeply personal exploration of the 1856-57 cattle killing among the amaXhosa, linking the tragedy to the colonial murder of King Hintsa and its lasting impact on the Eastern Cape (Article 1). At the Carnegie Museum of Art, two exhibitions showcase intimate works by 20th-century artists Gertrude Abercrombie and Pittsburgh native Raymond Saunders, highlighting personal and symbolic themes in their art (Article 2). Meanwhile, the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History will host a multimedia exhibition titled Amending Worlds, which uses imaginative and interdisciplinary approaches to envision alternative futures that challenge dominant systems such as colonialism (Article 4). These events and works collectively reflect ongoing engagements with history, culture, and the possibilities of reinterpreting past and future narratives through art and scholarship. Other articles unrelated to this central theme of historical reinterpretation and cultural expression were omitted.
