Art Exhibition at MoCA Westport : It Will Go On

March 21 – June 16, 2024

It Will Go On examines the written word, tracing the complex ways in which text and by extension literature are utilized by contemporary artists. Taking inspiration from poet Nikki Giovanni’s “My Poem” the exhibition responds to the poem’s call for continued revolution, focusing on the poem’s final line,“it will go on.” Exploring questions of revolution and textual resistance in the contemporary moment, the exhibition considers both overt and nuanced forms of protest. It Will Go On poses text as a central and connective framework, highlighting artists who employ the written word as a driving component of their practice.
