RSVP
Join us for a panel discussion featuring artist Adrienne Elise Tarver, historian Adam Green, journalist Natalie Moore, and curator Jenée-Daria Strand, as they discuss representation, agency, and resistance in relation to Tarver’s Public Art Fund exhibition, She who sits.
Tarver’s paintings aim to center an overlooked protagonist and invite audiences to reflect on the accepted roles of Black women in both public and private spaces. Highlighting overlapping areas of interest and research between the panelists, the conversation will address topics of race, gender, visibility, and agency in urban and public spaces.
