Join us for an engaging curator’s talk for the exhibition “Free as They Want to Be: Artists Committed to Memory.” This contemporary art exhibition explores the impact of historical memory through photography, video, and archival materials. Co-curated by Dr. Cheryl Finley, Inaugural Director of the Atlanta University Center Art History + Curatorial Studies Collective, and Dr. Deborah Willis, University Professor and Chair of the Department of Photography & Imaging at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, the exhibition invites audiences to reflect on the legacies of slavery in post-emancipation America and the liberating potential of art to articulate a sense of freedom and self-identity.
