Cover Story: In this article, material analysis of sculptural works produced in the 1970s and 1980s by U.S. artists Beverly Buchanan, Senga Nengudi, and Betye Saar reveal how Black feminists have engaged with modernist protocols to redress cultural erasures of Black women. These practices exemplify Black feminist modernisms or creative practices that unsettle the racist and sexist logic of dominant cultural institutions. Each of these artists utilizes haptic surfaces to defy modernism’s obfuscation of the past. Ultimately, this rejection of “timeless” modernism demands that viewers understand the present moment as an accumulation of still-evolving pasts.
