Djata Doumbouya on Deana Lawson’s Nation

In the online edition of MoMA’s ArtSpeaks program, a member of our staff shares personal impressions of an artwork in the galleries. Here, guest specialist Djata Doumbouya takes a close look at Deana Lawson’s Nation and finds a connection to the people and the space within the frame, and to the artist’s view of American history.

Explore our collection work by work as we release a new video each Friday. Watch the videos and then come visit the works in person at MoMA!

You can also hear more about this work with MoMA audio, and read an interview with Deana Lawson on Magazine.
