Sadie Barnette’s (b. 1984, active Oakland, CA) multimedia practice illuminates her own family history as it mirrors a collective history of repression and resistance in the United States. She earned a BFA from CalArts in Santa Clarita and an MFA from the University of California, San Diego. She also attended the prestigious Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2018. The first monograph of Barnette's work, Legacy & Legend, was published in 2021 by the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona and Pitzer Art Galleries, accompanying an exhibition of the same name. Her artwork is in the permanent collections of Los Angeles County Museum (LACMA); Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; Guggenheim Museum, NY; Studio Museum in Harlem, NY; Pérez Art Museum, Miami; San Jose Museum of Art, CA; Oakland Museum of California Art; the Berkeley Art Museum, CA; and the Walker Art Center, MN.
