Please join me, Angela Hennessy, Dana King, and special guests for a conversation moderated by Leigh Raiford, PhD, on contemporary narratives of Blackness, public art and commissions, and notions on survival. I’ll be discussing the recent turn of events in regards to the sculpture commission honoring Dr. Maya Angelou at the San Francisco Public Library. This will be an insightful talk in tandem with the exhibition, “Adjust Yo’ Eyes For This Darkness,” bringing together perspectives from Bay Area-based scholars, curators, and artists. I hope to see you there.
