Ken Gonzales-Day
Artist Ken Gonzales‑Day’s “Erased Lynching” series reexamines the overlooked history of lynching in the American West, especially the Latinx, Asian and Native American victims. His archival research expanded documented California lynchings from about 50 to over 350 and identified more than 500 Latinx cases nationwide, roughly 10% of all lynchings. The artwork digitally removes victims from historic postcards, directing viewers’ attention to the white crowds and the social conditions that enabled racial terror. Since its debut in 2005, the project has become a touchstone for scholars and institutions confronting erasure in American history.
