Now at The Met Fifth Avenue, "History Refused to Die: Highlights from the Souls Grown Deep Foundation Gift" features the mixed-media art of Thornton Dial—whose monumental assemblage from 2004 provides the exhibition's title. Dial's piece, "History Refused to Die," incorporates torn and stained clothing, wire, and other common materials as well as okra stalks and roots. The plant serves as a metaphor for the shared history—the "roots"—of people whose personal genealogies tie back to Africa. Widely associated with Southern cuisine, okra is indigenous to Africa and, like many other foodstuffs, came to the Americas via the international slave trade. Its presence in Dial’s sculpture evokes the ecological transplantation that paralleled the forced displacement and enslavement of millions of Africans throughout the New World.
