News of Wilsons gruesome death at the hand of a knife-wielding white stranger who attacked her and her sisters at Oaklands MacArthur BART station went viral, sparking national public protests and vigils. Mutus sculptures transcend specific reference, however, instead serving as a haunting reminder of the systemic silence around the countless murders of people of color, ...Read more
