Carrying On: Black Panther Artists Continue the Legacy/ Artists’ Panel

February 8 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Join us for a conversation with the artists and curator Colette Gaiter.

Seating capacity for the artists’ panel is sold out. If you are attending the talk please arrive early if you would like a seat otherwise it will be standing room only. If you are not attending the talk the reception will follow at 4:00 pm. Parking is available on the street and in municipal lots near the gallery as well as in the garage across the street. All parking requires payment at a reasonable cost.

Curated by Colette Gaiter, this exhibition brings the legacy and current work of four artists from the Black Panther Party (BPP) together to illuminate “the role of art in cultivating a radical imagination and developing activist practices.” Viewing their early work (made during the height of late 1960s – early 1970s social movements, rebellions, and uprisings against oppression of all kinds) next to their later and current work shows how they view social progress and change.

The curator will be in conversation with three of the artists in the gallery: Gayle Asali Dickson, Malik Edwards, and Akinsanya Kambon. Emory Douglas will join us via zoom.
