The exhibition 'Woody Guthrie: What This Guitar Might Do' at New York University's Clive Davis Institute celebrates the legacy of folk singer Woody Guthrie, whose protest music remains relevant today. Curated by students, the exhibit recreates Guthrie's apartment on Mermaid Avenue in Coney Island, featuring three guitars, two accordions, and over 130 archival materials from the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Visitors are encouraged to engage creatively with the space, reflecting Guthrie's playful spirit. The exhibit connects Guthrie's work to modern protest music, showcasing artists like Bad Bunny and Bruce Springsteen, emphasizing the ongoing tradition of creative resistance. Nora Guthrie, Woody's daughter, notes the joyous nature of her father's music, contrasting it with the seriousness often associated with protest songs. The exhibit also addresses the current political climate at NYU, where student activism faces challenges, highlighting the importance of creative expression in resistance against oppression.
