The Exquisite Corpse (Cadavre Exquis) was a favorite Surrealist game from the 1920s onwards. The game involves multiple participants contributing to a single drawing. Traditionally, the participants create their section of the drawing and then cover it so the next person is “drawing blind.” Once all participants have finished, the drawing is unfolded and revealed. The Paul Robeson Galleries has played the Exquisite Corpse game with 92 artists of the region to produce 30 drawings. In the spirit of Paul Robeson, we seek to promote free speech and creative expression, reflecting a multitude of voices through our exhibitions, programs, and publications. This exhibition literally manifests Paul Robeson Galleries’ mission of inclusivity, participation, and community outreach.
