Constructing Identity: Conversations on African-American Art & Culture

Join us for a two-part program exploring the past, present, and future of African-American Art. In the morning, Guest Curator Berrisford Boothe facilitates a wide-ranging conversation with an acclaimed group of African-American artists, scholars, and collectors who will reflect on the power of art making to shape how African Americans both see themselves and are seen by the world. In the afternoon, select exhibition artists will move to the Constructing Identity galleries where they will offer a closer look at their own work within the context of the larger show. Please visit the Museum website for a detailed schedule.
