Art Speaks: But You See Me

Join Shaka Myrick, the inaugural two-year Romare Bearden Graduate Fellow, in celebrating Juneteenth by exploring the history of visibility of Black Americans. She will discuss artworks by Glenn Ligon and Sam Gilliam, whose work is currently on view at the Museum, and explore conceptual techniques of using contemporary art as activism.

This virtual program will take place via Zoom and will include opportunities for participants to ask questions with the Q&A feature. Attendees’ mics and cameras will not be activated. This event will have automated closed captions.

Attendees must register to receive the Zoom link. Capacity for the live program is limited.

A closed-captioned recording of the program will become available on the Museum’s YouTube channel and website in the weeks following.
