“Benton Museum and Pitzer Galleries partnered in 2021 to host a dual exhibition of artist Sadie Barnette’s new work and showcase a range of pieces, from a life-size re-creation of a living room resurfaced in glittering pink to a series of large-scale drawings—hyper-enlarged recreations from a recently discovered 500-page FBI dossier on her father Rodney Barnette, a lifelong activist and founder of the Compton chapter of the Black Panther Party. The book Sadie Barnette: Legacy & Legend places these historical methodologies at the forefront, using paper changes to separate institutional essays, exhibition documentation and personal essays written by Barnette herself—accompanied by family photography, printed ephemera and screenshots from the artist’s Instagram feed.” 88 pages, 7¼ × 9½, casebound hardcover with silkscreen and holofoil, printed endpapers, Smyth sewn.
