Contemporary Art Museum STL / Stories of Resistance


From CAM:

Stories of Resistance explores artistic forms of resistance from across the world. Through visual narratives, artists amplify and bring to focus the multitude of conditions that ignite and inspire people to resist. The exhibition activates the entire museum space, inside and out, with video, photography, drawing, sculpture, painting, and installation. Presenting narratives from many social, political, and geographical spaces.

St. Louis serves as an ideal platform for Stories of Resistance. Resistance movements that have arisen here, most especially the rise of Black Lives Matter in response to the police killing of Michael Brown, have incited global actions against racism and injustice. By looking through a local lens, the exhibition draws connections worldwide, revealing profound influences that traverse borders and cultures.

CAM STL is open Thursday through Sundays from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm — until 8:00 pm on Fridays. You can reserve free timed tickets for entry and walk-ins will be accommodated based on availability. Masks are required.
