Student Guide Tour | Steve McQueen: Lynching Tree

Join our student guides to learn more about the installation of Steve McQueen: Lynching Tree.
Lynching Tree (2013) is a color photograph mounted in a lightbox that depicts an old tree with thick, sprawling branches. The tree stands in a clearing littered with leaves and grass and is surrounded by bushes and scrawny saplings. Only the title of the image reveals the horror of this apparently pastoral scene. The tree was used as a gallows for enslaved Black people; the unmarked graves of victims lie beneath it.

This is a free program for families with children who are five to twelve years of age and on the autism spectrum.
