Explore the story behind artist Glenn Kaino’s powerful aerial sculpture Bridge, in a screening of his documentary With Drawn Arms (2020, running time 1 hour, 24 minutes) at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in the McEvoy Auditorium. The film looks back 50 years to the moment that helped define a movement and changed the course of Olympic gold-medalist Tommie Smith’s life forever. The screening is followed by a panel discussion moderated by the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution Lonnie G. Bunch III, featuring Kaino, Smith, and sports journalist and professor Kevin Blackistone.
