Please bring your proof of vaccination and wear a mask to attend the lecture in person.
With the recent “Blackout” of the international and national art scenes, new and old Black art leaders, artists, intellectuals and curators have finally been given space and influence in art spaces. But are those spaces ready to support, understand and, more importantly, produce the conversations, ideas and work that these folks are bringing? Can the art space be a brave space for us to trust?
Live ASL interpretation will be provided. Auto-captions are available if you watch the lecture with Zoom.
If you are unable to watch the lecture live it will remain posted on our Facebook page. It will also be recorded, closed captioning added and then posted here by the end of December.
Free! Watch online with Zoom or Facebook Live or come in person to MAWA at 611 Main St. Please bring your proof of vaccination and wear a mask to attend in person.
