Join us for Sunday Insights, where community members relate their work and experience to the art on view. Storyteller and educator Karima Amin will explore We the People: New Art from the Collection and discuss her work with Prisoners are People Too, Inc. 

Whether creating paintings or videos, sculptures or photographs, the artists in We the People are interested in how we define our identities, form our communities, and confront the various forces that shape our lives. The featured works are all new additions to the museum’s collection and most have never before been on view at the Albright-Knox.
