Growing up both playing sports and creating art, Steven Bridges learned that artists and athletes were among the most influential figures in societies throughout history — and it’s still true today.
Now, Bridges, the interim director and senior curator of Michigan State University’s Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, is exploring the intersection of arts and sports, and what these two forms of expression can teach us about the world at large.
Bridges curated “Resistance Training: Arts, Sports and Civil Rights,” an exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Museum examining the way artists and athletes have given voice to and been engaged in struggles for civil rights and social justice. It is on view through Feb. 18.
