https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrKIGL5ZWNk Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Kara Walker, from the "Stories" episode in Season 2 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series. "Stories" premiered in September 2003 on PBS. “The illusion is that most of my work is simply about past events, a point in history and nothing else,” says Kara Walker about her subversive use of the traditional silhouette technique. The segment traces the evolution of Walker’s work, from time spent in the studio to the artist’s recent installations of projected light. Kara Walker was born in Stockton, California, in 1969.
