For We Hold These Truths, her new exhibition opening at UMMA in October 2026, artist Holly Bass looks to three of those anniversary years\u20141876, 1976, and 2026 to explore how national ideals are staged in public, preserved in private, and passed down through generations. \n\nIn this talk, Bass will discuss the ideas behind We Hold These Truths, her process of transforming UMMA\u2019s iconic Apse into an environment, and the role art plays in helping communities consider these varied histories. Drawing from her practice across performance, visual art, theater, writing, and engagement, Bass will offer a preview of the exhibition and explain how historic home museums inspired this new body of work.\n\nBass is the 2026 Roman J. Witt Artist In Residence and an award-winning artist and cultural worker based in Washington, DC. Her work\u2014held in the collections of the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery\u2014frequently engages communities through workshops, devised theater, and participatory installations and explores themes of American history, generational labor, and liberation. \n\nBass has been recognized with awards for multiple art forms. She received a 2024 Washington Award for art and social justice. She is a 2022 MAP Fund recipient for theater, a 2020 Live Feed Resident Artist at New York Live Arts for choreography and dance and a 2021\u201322 Smithsonian Artist Research Fellow. She performed at the 2022 Venice Biennale as part of Loophole of Retreat, Simone Leigh\u2019s special project for the U.S. Pavilion. She regularly contributes book reviews to the New York Times and was the first journalist to put the term \u201chip hop theater\u201d into print in a 1999 article for American Theatre magazine. Bass directed an arts program for adjudicated teens in DC\u2019s Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services from 2014 to 2019. From 2019 to 2025, she served as national director of Turnaround Arts at the Kennedy Center, a program that increases access to the arts in under-resourced elementary and middle schools. She studied modern dance under Viola Farber and creative writing at Sarah Lawrence College before earning her Master\u2019s degree from Columbia University\u2019s Graduate School of Journalism. In fall 2026, Bass will also be a Towsley Policymaker in Residence at the U-M Ford School of Public Policy.\n\nWe Hold These Truths opens at UMMA on October 3, 2026. The exhibition and Bass\u2019 Penny Stamps Speaker Series program are presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Residency Program and the University of Michigan Museum of Art.\n\nAbout the University of Michigan Roman J. Witt Residency\n\nThe Roman J. Witt Residency Program, developed with the support of University of Michigan alumna Penny W.

He also wrote the introduction to the 35th anniversary edition of Zinn\u2019s classic book A People\u2019s History of the United States.
