MIAMI Peréz Art Museum The artist’s questioning of how our shared past is remembered and which histories we’ve been taught to forget—why and by whom, and what is at stake—was especially timely in its presentation in a state whose governor and extremists have been leading the charge for the destruction of education and a war on truth through censorship, book banning, and whitewashing how American history is taught.
