Steve MᶜQueen Pérez Art Museum

The Pérez Art Museum presents Steve MᶜQueen's video installation End Credits, in which he pays homage to the African American singer, actor, and Civil Rights activist Paul Robeson (1898–1976). An anti-imperialist committed to fighting inequality, Robeson was watched in the 1950s and blacklisted by the FBI—the organization that kept an extensive archive on the Civil Rights leader and mass media performer. During the McCarthy era, the FBI compiled thousands of pages on Robeson, now a public archive which MᶜQueen used to create this video.

This work shows the significantly censored pages read by male and female voices. MᶜQueen creates a compelling visual composition that brings forth the perverse nature of politically driven discrimination and persecution.
