November 17, 2020
The Bernard A. Zuckerman Museum of Art (ZMA) is pleased to announce a new acquisition of work by renowned African American artist Willie Birch. The Aftermath of Katrina: A Church and a Home, a silkscreen print on handmade Hiromi paper, visually transforms Birch’s impressions of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina through the medium of silkscreen printing. The large-scale print was generously donated to the ZMA by Dolphin Press & Print, a professional printmaking and letterpress shop housed in the Printmaking Department at the Maryland Institute College of Art [MICA] in Baltimore, Maryland. The work documents the conclusive effects and lasting impacts of Hurricane Katrina on the landscape of Birch’s native city of New Orleans.
