Abstract

Successful exhibitions engage the public and encourage debate. In the era of Trump, this means curating shows that court controversy and examine issues such as xenophobia, immigration, and climate-change denial. This paper considers a recent exhibition funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, In the eyes of the hungry: Florida’s changing landscape (University of Central Florida Art Gallery and Terrace Gallery at Orlando City Hall, 27 February-23 April 2017), which explored Florida’s history of migrant labor, racism, and urban development, and demonstrated how the arts can act for social justice.
