On Blackness: Artist Talks and Panel
Please join us on Saturday, April 13th from 3 - 5 pm for a hybrid artist talks and a panel on Blackness in America in conjunction with the exhibition Dolls, Idols, and Ideals.
The afternoon will start with two mini-artist talks from Kimberly Camp and Emilio Maldonado, the featured artists of Dolls, Idols, and Ideals. After a short introduction, Kimberly and Emilio will be joined by a special guest to discuss Blackness in America. Doors will open at 2.45, and the artist talks will begin at 3.15. Guests will be able to select if they would like to join virtually or in person during checkout. Virtual audiences will be sent a Zoom link in the days before the event.
Dolls, Idols, and Ideals features Kimberly Camp and Emilio Maldonado, two Black artists investigating their identity, label, lineage, and how they create their own power while stranded in a “new world.” Camp and Maldonado artists use symbols - made or found - that reference their ancestry and spirituality. Rather than working from a notion of unchanging traditions, they engage with aesthetics and amalgamated cultural practices that have been adapted in order to survive. Each artist finds strength, magic, and power in these shapeshifting, resilient elements in full embrace and exploration of their individual and shared heritages.
