Fred Wilson is an American artist whose work challenges colonial assumptions on history, culture, and race. His landmark installation at the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore in 1992 changed the art world; he "unsettled the museum's comfortably white, upper-class narrative by juxtapos[ed] silver repoussé vessels and elegant 19th-century armchairs with slave shackles and a whipping post.
