Kara Walker Summit: Existing in Silhouette
This event is no longer on sale.
This event is exclusively for college-aged Black women only.
Join us for a program made by and for college-aged Black women, presented in conjunction with the exhibition Kara Walker: Cut to the Quick, from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation. This summit aims to provide a safe and honest space in which to discuss the personal meanings of existing as Black women in a nation where the humanity of Black women is continually eroticized and erased—an experience that Walker’s work embodies. The program will include a presentation on Walker’s work, time in the galleries to see the exhibition, a facilitated discussion on personal connections to Walker’s portrayals, and a closing viewing of the exhibition. Participants may attend any and all of the day’s activities. Refreshments will be provided.
