In the installation, a heavy tree grows through a grand piano, its keys moving on their own to play a rendition of Billie Holiday’s Strange Fruit. When I teach from this piece, students are always curious about its surreal elements: How did this tree get here? Where did this piano come from, and who’s playing it? What’s this song? Teachers can leverage their students’ innate curiosity about the work, creating space for them to celebrate legacies of Black creativity and resilience, reflect on continuities between the past and the present, and confront the violent reality of racism in America." — Michael Reback (@myreback), Teacher Services Coordinator⁠ #bkmeducation⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Head to link in bio for a free Teaching Resource featuring more questions for viewing, activities, and resources about this work.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Sanford Biggers (American, born 1970).
