Art and Race Matters: Keynote Talk with Erin Christovale
Join this program on Zoom https://pam.to/
As Art and Race Matters: the Career of Robert Colescott comes to a close, this talk with Erin Christovale takes a deep dive into two works: Emergency Room by Colescott and Framed by Modernism by Carrie Mae Weems. Thinking about the landscapes of American and modernist social relationships, this close-read considers the representations of race and gender that echo throughout the life and work of Colescott.
Erin Christovale is the associate curator at the Hammer Museum and the co-founder of experimental film program, Black Radical Imagination.
This talk is supported by Cheryl and Rena Tonkin, and Marv Tonkin Leasing Company, In Memory of Alan Baron Tonkin and the Northwest Art Council at the Portland Art Museum.
